Christianbook notified me today that the new NASB (New American Standard Bible)2020 that I ordered is now in stock, and ready to be ordered.

This edition is the "Jesus Saves New Testament." I am not interested in the ancillary denominational material with which this edition is surely loaded. But the price is right ($1.49, softcover), and I have badly wanted to review the text of this third edition of the NASB (previous ones having been published in 1977 and 1995). I felt that this approach would allow me to do that faster and on the cheap.

I have been a real fan of the NASB since it came out in 1977. Ditto the 1995 edition. I wait with bated breath to see how this version is similar to, and differs from, the previous ones.

No doubt, digital versions of NASB2020 will be coming along shortly. Hopefully, some will be sans denominational embellishments, relatively inexpensive, and ones that those of us who have Bible study programs (Logos, et al.) can go ahead and incorporate into those programs. If you are aware of ebook versions of NASB2020 that are already available, please post that information.

(Note: I hope that Christianbook will not be charging me shipping, since the book was not available when I ordered it. I noticed that their minimum shipping charges now are for orders of $35 and over, and start at $4.95 (I know that the minimum order was $25 fairly recently, and I think that the charge was only $3.95).
