The NRSV Compact Text Edition is elegantly designed, with small but readable type. The Bibles are a comfortable size to carry and small enough to fit in a pocket or bag.

The attractive imitation leather and white and silver gift editions have decorative foil edges and ribbon markers, and they include presentation pages, making them suitable for marking special occasions such as confirmations and other ceremonies.

The more basic hardbacks offer the readable NRSV at an affordable price for potential classroom or group use.

They use the NRSV Anglicized Edition and have British spelling and punctuation.
