Knox Compact New Testament

I was fortunate enough, via a reader's comment, to obtain a compact edition of the Know New Testament.  If you have done a search online, like at bookfinder.com, you will notice that there are a number of Knox Bibles out there for purchase.  Some of these editions are from the US, while a number come from book sellers in the UK.  Also, depending on the condition, these Knox Bibles, both compact and full, can get a bit pricey.  The edition I purchased is published by Sheed & Ward from 1954.  This edition is the paperback one and, surprisingly, it has held up pretty well for being over sixty years old. 

 The layout is in single-column, with verse numbers on the margins, just like the recently released Baronius edition.  It includes all the notes composed by Msgr. Knox, as well as the cross-references.  There is really nothing else included in this compact Bible, which is fine.    

One day, I would really like to see the leather edition of this compact New Testament.  Until then, I have found this handy little paperback edition to be very helpful for devotional reading before Mass, as well as during our Sunday family rosary.   With the uncertainty of ever seeing a compact Knox from Baronius Press, this may the best option out there.  

"Such was the history of Nicanor; and since that time the city has been in Jewish possession. Here, then, I will make an end of writing; if it has been done workmanly, and in historian’s fashion, none better pleased than I; if it is of little merit, I must be humoured none the less. Nothing but wine to take, nothing but water, thy health forbids; vary thy drinking, and thou shalt find content. So it is with reading; if the book be too nicely polished at every point, it grows wearisome. So here we will have done with it." --2 Maccabees 15:38-40
