pocket bibles
Miniature holy books
Pocket bibles are small-format editions of the Bible designed to be carried easily—in a pocket, purse, or pack.
The term extends to any compact, portable reference considered essential to a field or practice: The style guide became the pocket bible for copyeditors.
Such references are meant to be consulted frequently and kept close at hand.
