OK! Sure I "knew" all the books of the Bible and in proper sequence, .... back in 4th grade Sunday school class, and only because I wanted to get that nice new personalized Bible of my own. But today, when it really means something to be able to quickly get to the verse being studied when cited? It ain't happening for me. Heck, half the time I can't remember if the book they're talking about is in the old or new testament. Now that is really sad, don't you think?Very recently I found a new version of the Bible called the New Living Translation and what shocked the daylights out of me, I could understand what I was reading. "AMAZING!" Long story short, I purchased a new NLT large print Bible I felt would best suit my needs. Of course I bought it from Amazon.com the best place to find what you need at the best prices and quick delivery should you have the Prime Program. The Bible arrived in two days as promised and I opened it all excited only to be immediately struck with that deep down gut feeling of fear. There was no way to identify the books of the Bible or their location. I totally freaked because I've learned over the years I MUST HAVE "cheater tabs" to survive.I found exactly what I was looking for here, ordered them and received them very quickly. I'd read all the reviews so I now knew the easy part was over and the hard part only just beginning. I had read it might take from 45 minutes to a couple of hours to attached the indexed books of the Bible tabs and then there were all kinds of, " be careful of this and be careful of that" in the instructions.Well, I read the instructions a few times, combined that with the knowledge learned from the reviews, organized everything and started off. I am very happy to report everything went very well, no mistakes and I finished the job in about 2 hours. These tabs are great because they are very easy to read, very durable in design, attractively styled with black print and gold trim and permanently attach to the page. The good news they included a wonderful template to use in laying out all of the tabs cutting down on the work and time immensely.For the price and time investment I know I will get many years of quality service out of this product and beyond what I had anticipated. I am still relearning which books are new and old testament but man, is it a lot of fun now. I no longer get that gut panicked feeling when I have to find a verse quickly to keep up. Before, I would still be looking for the book of the Bible while everyone else had already finished and moved on. Not any more. Take all of that pressure off of yourself and invest in these Bible Tabs with Clear Tab Gold Center Strip & Black Lettering, which is easy to read. An investment which will return a great value for many years to come. Yes, I highly recommend this product especially after grossly under estimating how something so simple solves such a distressing problem.

Beautiful bible tabs. Has tabs for all the books in the Catholic bible. Easy to place. Elegant to look at.

I received my gold-trimmed Bible tabs last night and stayed up to placed all my tabs in my Bible. I followed the directions and used the page guide to line up my tabs, but like other reviews have stated the page guide is off and this made the Bible tabs off. Some were perfectly spaced, others over-lapped a bit and others had a gap between tabs. Now here is the interesting thing - I LOVE IT! The finished product was wonderful, even with all the over-lapping and gaps, it was truly wonderful. Why? Because I placed my tabs in my Bible NOT a machine. The tabs not only make my Bible look beautiful, but it made it look organic and real.I have had my current Holy Bible for 10 years and I have used it for Devotions, Prayers, Intense Bible Study and Illumination. I use THE REVISED STANDARD VERSION WITH THE EXPANDED APOCRYPHA (1977 Edition), and this is my second Holy Bible in my entire life. My first RSV Holy Bible w/Expanded Apocrypha I beat up so bad I had to retire it back in 2003 and immediately bought my current RSV Holy Bible, which I have tried not to beat up as much, but all I am doing is delaying its destrution from over use.However, being I currently closed 10 years of sustained and loving use of my current RSV Holy Bible and it's still in good shape I decided to get these gold-trimmed Bible tabs to just spruce my Bible up a bit. Well, it really did spruce it up and made it look even better than before. Also, like I said before the gaps and over-lapping of the tabs make my Bible feel real (organic) or, like my wife likes to say, "Well loved."These Bible tabs are wonderful, take the time to get them and then placed these tabs in your bible and let everytbody know that your Bible is "Well Loved." I highly endorse this product and hope that others buy these tabs and use them in their Bible.ONE MAJOR DRAW BACK: Being that I have THE REVISED STANDARD VERSION WITH THE EXPANDED APOCRYPHA (1977 Edition) this version of the Holy Bible, besides being the best English translation of the Holy Bible, includes 1 Esdras, Additions to Daniel, Prayers of Manassess, Letter of Jeremiah, 3 Maccabees, 4 Maccabees & Psalm 151. There are NO Bible tabs for these books, NONE! Now the company that makes these tabs is located here in Itasca, IL (I live close by) and I am going to give them a call to see if they can special order/make me some of these gold-trimmed Bible tabs for 3 Maccabees, 4 Maccabees, Psalm 151, etc. Don't know if they can do it, but I will give it a shot and let you know what happens.The lack of Bible tabs for1 Esdras, Additions to Daniel, Prayer of Manassess, Letter of Jeremiah, 3 Maccabees, 4 Maccabees & Psalm 151 may not seems like a big deal, but as an Orthodox Christian, that has these books in their Orthodox/Septuagint Bible, that just tells me that American society still does not know about us, does not make alot of products for us, and it's only really been in the last 10 to 15 years that Amazon and other book sellers, on-line and in stores, have started to carry products from a strictly Eastern Orthodox perspective. I hope this increased awareness about Orthodoxy continues and that at some point Orthodoxy can stop being the best kept secret in America. One can only hope and pray.Peter A. Papoutsis

The directions were clear and the guide that is in listed made it easy to line up. However, if you you suffer from a bit of OCD or just want to be more precise know that if you follow the markings on the included guide, there will be more space on the bottom than on the top. Not having the tabs centered doesn’t bother me, but I know it may to some. The other tip I have is to check how far into the leg you have to adhere the tab. For my particular bible I should have made sure the entire black line on the tab was fully on the page. Instead I lined up the bottom base of the line with the page and as a result my tabs stick out. Finally, beware that these tabs are SUPER sticky! Very unforgiving for mistakes. Short of having to try to CAREFULLY peel one back up because you accidentally caught and sealed another page, I would recommend leaving it in place for a minor misstep like placing it on the wrong tab order (ex. should have placed it on the 3rd tab position and ended sticking it on the 4th instead). Overall good quality tabs, but I would gladly pay a couple dollars more if the tabs were the kind that could be repositioned.

I have tabbed two bibles recently and these are the easiest tabs I have used. The backing removed easily and the sticky part of the tab is not prone to tearing. Easy to line up and apply and they look nice and are not too heavy of bulky. I did a Catholic Douey-Rheims with these, some of the book names were slightly different but that was not a big deal and expected.

These are great in my Bible I bought a new Bible and these make it easier to find chapters
