If you go to Amazon, www.amazon.com, select on the books "store." In the upper left hand portion of the screen, below the tabs, you will see advanced search. Select that. Use Bible as title or keyword (some versions, like "Good News for Modern Man," don't actually have Bible in the title) Scroll down and select format of large print. Please not that in Bible publisher speak, large print is generally 12 point, giant print is 14-16. All the mainstream publishers like Nelson have websites and 800 number customer service, so you can get more info, though.
There's also http://www.thebiblesource.com/categories.php?c=27 There's an 18 point one at http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/cms_sp?sp=58063&p=1018818 And there's http://www.allbibles.com/items.asp?Cc=BIBGT&CatMoveby=0&Nbm=&Pbm=&FromNav= If you're not into online ordering, take down the title, publisher, and ISBN, and you can special order from a local bookstore.

There are stores that only sell bibles. Look in the Yellow Pages of the Telephone Directory, under Bibles. Ask if they have bibles for the visually impaired. If not, ask if they can tell you where to purchase one.

Yes, the SPCK bookshops or the Catholic Truth Society (CTS) bookshops both have large print Bibles and Prayer Books.

They are available in Large Print, if that is enough for you. It is a 2 or 3 volume set, we used to have them at the library where I worked.
My grandmother, when she could no longer see well enough to read, loved her Bible on audiotape. It is also on DVD for easier searching.
Check with your local Christian Bookstore or public library.

What about an audio bible? Bamzu has one on TV that also comes with a DVD that shows big print on your TV screen and it is only like 30 bucks.
