This book is the bomb! It has a well made, sturdy green hardback cover with glorious gold text and a large engravedCeltic cross. The paper used is also sturdy and allows some bleed through from the other side but not enough to be significant.The text is moderately large, say 10 point, and is crisp.The psalms are laid out better than any other prayer book that I haveever seen. The verses are numbered in a straight line down the page after the Psalm number. There are two general litanies,one in antique language and one in contemporary.Some prayers are emboldened like the Lord's Prayer and the Prayer of HumbleAccess as well as others together with the Nicene creed. This prayer book is so logically organized and easy to use that atwelve year old child would find it delightful. It is published by the Columbia Press. and reprinted in 2006. Need I say more.This, to me, is the best of the Best!
