I was in the market for a compact edition, and as it turns out, Three Sixteen Publishing has released a compact edition. I found one I liked in an edge lined, navy blue, goatskin leather.

As you can see from the photo, it is pretty compact. I was surprised that the font was still larger than that of the Cambridge Pitt Minion Bibles, and much easier to read. The Pitt’s font is 6pt. The Compact edition LSB is 8.5pt. This makes a significant difference.

The font is laid out in a two column, paragraph format. It is printed on 28 g.s.m. paper. The cover is pretty soft, and flexible goatskin leather. The edge lined binding, as well as the smyth-sewn spine, also aid in that regard. The inner cover is cowhide, and has the gold colored LSB logo printed on it. The head, and tail bands match the color of the navy blue cover. There are two ribbon markers. One is blue, the other is gold.

The page edges look more silver than this photo shows.

The page edges are blue under silver, and the corners are rounded.

If you are in the market for a compact edition, I highly recommend this one over the Pitt Minion. You can find it here, https://316publishing.com/collections/lsb-compact-edition/products/legacy-standard-bible-compact-edition-edge-lined-goatskin
