Re: Handy GNT for travelling
I have a copy on order, but it has not yet arrived. Randy was gracious enough to send me a scanned copy of some pages - the font is a little different for λ, but the text seems readable, and the size is great.

Re: Handy GNT for travelling
Actually, Bob Jones U. offers two different sizes of pocket Greek NT's. I made a video for Wayne where I show the fonts of both.

I'd recommend both. Pocket Greek NT's are one of the resources that lead to flluency, although I realize that you are not asking about that.

Re: Handy GNT for travelling
I ordered the larger size. I see that you recommend getting both - do you not think the larger size is small enough to easily carry around? I was concerned that the print in the smaller size might not be good for extended reading.Mark Lightman wrote:Actually, Bob Jones U. offers two different sizes of pocket Greek NT's.

Re: Handy GNT for travelling
I use the smaller size much more often. If I go pick up a pizza I whip it out and read a few paragraphs (with my reading glasses) while I wait. The bigger one is great too, but it does not fit into any pocket.
Susan, which one do you have?

Re: Handy GNT for travelling
It looks like the smaller version is the way to go for me easy carrying.

Re: Handy GNT for travelling
I didn't know there were 2 sizes; I have a hard time imagining one smaller than the one I have -- it's 3.5" wide by 4.7" tall by .5" thick.
I pretty much carry it around all the time and read a little now and then as free moments appear.

I have the larger size now, the smaller is on order.
The larger size is about 1/2 the size of a UBS 3 or UBS 4, just about as thick, very easily readable font, no apparatus. As Mark said, too big to fit in a pocket, but not a bad size for a suitcase or a backpack.

Re: Handy GNT for travelling
Just got the smaller size. It's much harder for me to read, the print is quite small.

Re: Handy GNT for travelling
I appreciate the update, Jonathan. You just made my decision for me. I'll be ordering the larger edition. Thank you as well, Mark, for the Youtube video.
