Find Current Bibles
Thomas Nelson has been publishing Bibles for a long time. As a result, a lot of Bibles are now out of print that you or your customers may be looking for. One of the biggest requests we hear is to provide a clear and easy way to find the right transition to available Bibles. Below is a working list of old Thomas Nelson Bibles organized by translation and style number with links to the nearest equivalent Bibles currently in print.
About Thomas Nelson Style Numbers
Historically, Thomas Nelson relied on an alphanumeric code called a style number to identify Bibles with a particular set of features, cover material, and color. The code, sometimes referred to as a model number, was often printed on the spine. While our Bibles still have a style number indicated on the packaging, more frequently, order forms have now moved to 13-digit ISBN numbers.
As an example, here is how a style number has worked.
NKJV Personal Size Giant Print End-of-Verse Reference Bible
165 = base
1652 = Hardcover (2) Black (default)
1652BG = Hardcover Burgundy (BG)
1653BK = Leathersoft (3) Black (BK)
1653GI = Leathersoft (3) Green (G) Thumb Indexed (I)
1655 = Bonded leather (5) Black (default or BK added)
