My mom is wanting a Catholic Bible of her own, one that she can read herself, so she needs large print. Does anyone know of one like that? Any version is acceptable: NAB, DR, NJ, it doesn’t matter. A link would be very helpful, but I’ll be grateful for any suggestions. And thank you all so much for being here on CAF! 😃
 
I prefer large type; it’s so much easier to read. This edition of the NAB has some of the largest type I’ve seen in a Bible (the link shows five versions of the same Bible – five different bindings).

In general, the large “family” Bibles have bigger type than the smaller-size Bibles, but the one I linked to has an even larger type face than most family Bibles I’ve seen.

At the local Barnes and Nobles I’ve actually seen a large print NRSV version. I prefer the RSV myself but I haven’t seen the large print of that out there. Hope this might help.
 
Our Sunday Visitor also carries a Giant Print NAB Bible.

FYI, the actual cover does not look like the picture. The picture is of the box the Bible comes in. The Bible itself has a plain, black leather cover (and gilded edges).
 
the St. Joseph NAB paper back Large type Edition with the peach or salmon cover with the yellow cross is the largest type available in paper, usually $10-14 depending on source.
the St Joseph NAB Giant Type edition, also from Catholic Book Publishing, is the largest type size I have seen in any edition, hardcover is red cloth, usually $20-30 depending on where you buy it. I have seen both of them in most Catholic book and gift catalogs.

In general when bible-shopping no matter what the version look for “giant type” as “large type” is not large enough for many of us.
