Douay-Rheims Bible Large Print Edition
I want to thank Tan Books for publishing this edition of the Large Print Douay-Rheims Bible. It is an outstanding edition, and the print is larger and easier to read than the regular sized edition. The high quality production is most welcome, with the sturdy cover, tight binding, and an ease of use for "lap reading". In other words, the Bible is not so large that it has to lie on a desk to be read. The print is very good and clear, the red lettering is great, easily read. The actual translation is my favorite, though I read the others also. I am one of those converts who grew up on the KJV, whose language I love. With the Douay-Reheims translation, I get the quality of the KJV, but much better because it has all the books needed for the Catholic Bible. Highly recommended, and it will be a joy for anyone to read, after all, it is the full Word of God.

The one and only Roman Catholic Bible to read and contemplate.
This is the only Bible that I would trust. It was written by God and compiled by Holy Mother Church. Highly Recommended Reading!

Print size
Beautiful Bible but I would not consider it “large print”. My large print RSV Ignatious Bible is at 14 points and very comfortable for early morning readings. I’m disappointed that this Bible’s print is smaller. If the publisher would increase the print by a point or two and give it a real leather cover it would give this DR version it’s due respect. Otherwise, It’s nicely bound scripture.

Beautiful and Practical
I’ve always wanted a Douay-Rheims Bible, but never felt so as to acquire until this one. With its set of features, especially the flexible and intricately embossed leatherette cover, this Bible is beautiful for throning at home or giving as a special gift. More importantly, it’s surprisingly nimble so as to actually use regularly as well! Not too large nor too heavy. The font (to me) isn’t very large; I think for it being a Douay-Rheims, it’s large print. Nonetheless, the typeface is traditional, very clean-looking and easy on the eyes to read. Do know this is bound in “Bible paper”, but of a seemingly resilient quality. Delicate enough to use with reverence, no so delicate that it’s a discouragement to use for Lectio Divina. Full-color illustrations and maps are in the back; three gold page ribbons attached to the elegantly sculpted spine. For aging eyes of all ages, this Bible is not to be missed!
