"This is a large book - about 2” wide. It’s a hardcover, so it’s heavy and not very portable. There may be a paperback edition that would be lighter and more portable. There are no tabs or finger notches, so you may want to order alphabetical tabs or see if Bible Dictionary Tabs exist. There is a Table of Contents, a List of Abbreviations, two Appendices, and a Map Index in addition to the A-Z Word Definitions. The Definitions section also includes Notable People, Books, and Covenants. The paper is a nice weight. My only complaint was that I found this book for significantly less (about 50%) on Amazon as a special promotion price AFTER I had already placed my order! Overall, this is a good reference book to have when reading and studying scripture."
