--What I was looking for:
I already have other study Bibles, cross-reference Bibles, and study software so I didn't need any notes or extra features. I wanted an ESV thinline Bible to use as my main Bible that I read daily year after year. The ESV is a wonderful translation (readable & accurate) and I like thinline Bibles that aren't too bulky.
--What I got:
Thinline?
When I read some of the reviews while making my purchase, I thought some of them were being overly picky about the thickness. I had seen another Crossway thinline ESV Bible in the store (ESV Thinline Bible, TruTone, Charcoal, Celtic Cross Design, Red Letter Text) and found that to be a nice size and definitely what you could call thinline. I figured this item would be the same Bible just with the brown cover. But when I took it out of the box I immediately saw that this is a different Bible and had to agree with other reviewers that this really isn't at all what is normally considered thinline. On a bright note, it is thinner than a "standard" sized pew Bible or typical gift Bible. While a little thicker than I hoped for, I don't consider it bulky and it is very comfortable to handle. All in all it is a very nice size.
Cover:
The TruTone cover looks very nice in this natural brown cover. I wasn't crazy about Crossway's other covers with designs on them. I like the understated yet nice appearance of this. Also, this cover feels durable. I have a couple other TruTone Bibles and they are holding up quite well (plus you can always get them rebound when the time comes). I think this looks and feels a lot nicer than bonded leather, which always seems cheap in my opinion. Also, the binding is sewn rather than glued and should contribute do its durability.
Pages & Print:
Given that this Bible is a tad thicker than true thinlines, the paper isn't exactly the "onion skin" variety. But it's nice - thick enough that bleed-through isn't at all a problem but thin enough to avoid extra bulk. The font is average magazine/newspaper size and is very readable. Happily, the gold edges haven't caused excess sticking of the pages even though it's brand new.
Extras:
While I didn't need them, there are a few nice features such as reading plans (I was pleased to see their 40-day plan for reading the key passages of the whole arc of God's plan; great for new believers), a 6,000 word concordance, etc. Maps and diagrams are printed on the same paper as the biblical text rather than on thicker glossy paper as is common, again reducing extra bulk. Interestingly, the maps are smartly located between the OT and the NT. I hadn't seen that done before - they're usually in the back. Now that I have this, I have found it to be very convenient. And maybe people will actually look at them!
--Conclusion
This is almost exactly what I was seeking. In the end, minus one star because you really can't call this a true thinline Bible. However, it is a nice size, it isn't too bulky, and I am very happy with the other aspects of this Bible. I am very pleased with what I got and I have truly been enjoying opening this Bible and spending precious time in His Word.

| This Bible is great! Great translation and good size. It's not a pocket Bible, but it's not a giant book, either. It's more like a regular-sized softcover book. And the new chapter introductions are really nice, very informative and useful. | | |  | Cheap Materials, Small Font, Not Thinline Mar 16, 2010 |
This is NOT a "thinline" Bible. It is much thicker than the "less than 1 inch" claimed on the box in which it came. I measure its thickness at 1.25 inches.
this site says it has a 9-point font text, but this Bible actually uses an 8.2-point font, as stated on the box. Too small for my eyes.
The paper used in this "premium" Bible is cheap and some of the pages were badly wrinkled when I received it. The cover is made of such cheap, stiff material that the book will not lay flat enough on its own to comfortably read the text if you are in the first or last 300 pages. And once you open it, the cover does not lay flat when you close it. Having had my copy open for only a few minutes and then closing it, the front cover is standing up from the rest of the book at about a 30 degree angle.
The Bible supposedly has a smyth-sewn binding, but it behaves more like it has a glued binding (probably because of the very cheap cover that Crossway used).
I previously owned a less expensive thinline ESV with better paper, a larger font, and a much softer TruTone cover than this Bible offers. What a disappointment this "premium" Bible is. I am returning mine.

Okay, perhaps this may seem a bit anal, but since thinline is in the title I feel as if I should say that it is NOT less than 1 inch thick (despite what it says in the description). Even while pressing this Bible firmly down on the table it measures 1 3/16 inches thick. If, like me, you bought this because you really liked the size of a previous thinline Bible you might be a bit disappointed. Also, I have a few other trutone covered books that I like much better (the Greek and Hebrew Reader's Bibles). Those are softer to the touch and a bit more grippy than this cover which has a pebbled finished. Additionally, I did not realize that this has no cross-references (although the description doesn't say it does).
On the plus side this Bible does have a few extras that are helpful such as generous map section, and pictures of Jerusalem (Old and New, ect), the temple, tabernacle, etc. And of course, the ESV is a pretty solid translation. | | | Write your own review about ESV Thinline Bible (TruTone, Cool Mint, Ivy Design)
