This is the Bible I keep in my car. I take it with me to Bible study groups and for preaching at weddings or funerals. This the RSV, the translation I have known since I went to college in the 1960s. I have many of its verses memorized. The editors make a point to distinguish between a Bible condensation and an edited Bible. There are still all 66 books in this edition. The editors claim it still contains 60% of the original RSV. What's missing are most of the "begats" and many citations in the New Testament of verses frm the Old Testament that are fulfillments. I think about all the verses I don't talk about anyway when I preach that, somehow, aren't in this condensed version. In addition, there are no chapters or verses numbered in this volume. We're forced to read the Bible as the prophets, evangelists, and apostles wrote it! I wouldn't use this Bible exclusively, but I do like it for what it is. I'm only sad that it took me this long to discover it.
