I'm saving for a Thompson Chain Reference Genuine Leather Bible. From what little I am able to view inside each version, it seems that there are subtle differences in headings, type, etc. I would get the NASB but I have a concern that it is not the 1995 updated version. Please help with with any information or suggestions you may have. Thank you!

If you specifically want the 1995 edition NASB, ask Kirkbride Publishers and they can get that for you.

Today, I still like the NIV for readability or KJV for comparability. Soon, they likely will come out with an ESV version, and that will be a good choice as well.

"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)"
Hebrews 10:23

I ordered the following:

· Genuine Leather with Levant Grain: 1923 pages
· Publisher: Kirkbride (January 1988)
· ISBN-10: 0887071082
· ISBN-13: 978-0887071089
· Product Dimensions: 25.9 x 19.8 x 4.6 cm

It wasn't worth the money. The leather was thin and cheap so I ordered:

· Kirvella bound: 1923 pages
· Publisher: Kirkbride Bible Company (September 2006)
· Language: English · ISBN-10: 0887075525
· ISBN-13: 978-0887075520
· Product Dimensions: 9.8 x 7.1 x 2 inches

It's not genuine leather but it is a much better buy.

Hart has well expressed it: "He to the feeble and the faint, His mighty aid makes known; and when their languid life is spent, supplies it with His own." - J. K. Popham

The Thompson NKJV is touted by Kirkbride as having the most complete set of chains. I have it as well as the KJV, NIV, and NASB versions.

The best bound version is the goatskin leather KJV Centennial Edition. I also have this one and it is very nice.
