A brand new edition of the renowned New American Standard Bible, reflecting the best traditions of Cambridge Bible typography and production values. Cambridge's original Pitt Minion Bibleswere notable for their use of a compact typeface designed for Cambridge University Press in the heyday of hot-metal composition. They have been a feature of the Cambridge list for over half a century. The NASB Pitt Minion Reference Edition now follows in this historic tradition, using a stylish modern digital typeface which like its predecessor combines utility and elegance. It uses the Lexicon typeface, carefully chosen for its economical use of space. This is the font used for dictionaries and encyclopaedias because it accommodates a lot of characters in a small space. The result is a classic Bible for the twenty first century produced in a remarkably compact yet readable form. Cambridge's NASB Pitt Minion Bibles feature red-letter text for the words of Christ and full cross-references. Printed on India paper, the pages are sewn for maximum resilience and durability. This Bible has two ribbons to keep the place and a presentation page. Extra study features include a concordance and 16 pages of maps.

Reviews & endorsements

The real beauty of Cambridge's Pitt Minion editions is their handy size ... it measures less than seven inches by five ... in combination with thin India paper, a spine-width of well under an inch, this Bible at just 17 ounces (500gm) is half the weight of most. It also opens completely flat, a real boon in the pulpit or when reading at a table. ... Add to that bindings which are stitched, not glued, and with the highest quality flexible covers, this Bible is a joy to hold and carry. Cambridge's highly attractive and very durable fine bindings make one of these Bibles a life-time investment. Revd David Dewey, author of Which Bible?
