My NASB Open Bible has about had it. Its only a sliver holding Romans chapters 8-12. There are other places almost as bad.
I have other Bibles but this is my main one - been carrying it to church, Bible studies, and daily reading since the mid 80s.
Does Nelson still publish the NASB Open Bible? Any other suggestions for my go-to Bible?
Jeff says:
What I have done in the past, e.g., I have an ASV Bible that I use for study and which is filled with personal notes, but sadly the binding finally let go, is to seek out a reliable Book Binder and have the Bible rebound. I chose to have mine bound in a quality leather binding and it is still intact to this day after 25 years.
I think this is your best bet. If you take notes in your bible. If you don't, e.g., I rarely put notes in my bible, then you don't have to worry about that as an option.
At "Lifeway" we always stock a couple of Bonded Leather and Hardback copies of the Open Bible.

The Open Bible is still sold but only in "bonded leather".
That is correct. But you may be able to find an older Open Bible on Ebay. Ebay is a great place to shop for older bibles. But you can also see what is on the shelf today here at

Cambridge does not make a NASB.
Cambridge used to print the NASB un-revised version. I own three of them. One cordoven leather, one calfskin and one goatskin. Again, I was able to find two of these on Ebay. But of course, this isn't the Open Bible.
You can find a few NASB open bibles on ebay
