Details: My mother in law asked for The Message as a Christmas gift. I ordered this and received it, then realizing how small it is. It is a compact version. She was thrilled, but as I feared, the print was too small for her to comfortably read. I will go to a bookstore to repurchase this book in a more readable version.

Details: The product did not come up to my expectations. The print was too small. My wife and I are in our 80s and don't have the vision we once had for these things. Sorry, I returned the item and was credited.

Details: This is an excellent version for personal reading. I did not find it helpful in a classroom setting.
Review Summary: this version of The Message is disappointing
Date: 2008-10-18
Details: This version of The Message (and it's not about the "message") is that the print is so very small that even young eyes cannot read it. It's small and compact...so if you'd like to use it for travel, that would be good. But, if you're intending to use this in a more public setting and for study the print size is a handicap. Unfortunately, that was my plan and had ordered (and planned to order more) multiple copies which I had to return.
