Review: Lovely version of the traditional BCP - I am a fairly new Anglican/Episcopalian, but I've known for a few years that the proposed 1928 BCP of the Episcopal Church is very highly regarded and seems very popular with younger Anglicans like myself, so I had to get myself a physical copy of it. This version seemed to be of high quality from reviews and photos, so I bought this one. I was delighted when I received it, mainly for how beautiful and compact it is. Although this is "leather bound," it should be noted that the cover of this book is like a standard hardcover and more rigid, and not a flexible sewn binding like the "deluxe personal edition" 1979 BCP. However, this may be a good thing to you as this allows the book to stay open on its own easily. The cover with the gold decoration is simple but beautiful, as are the gilded pages. It is also very compact and easy to travel with. It is about the same length and width as a standard 1979 BCP, but half the thickness (about the same thickness as the Deluxe Personal 1979). It also comes in a sleeve, so you can store it easily without risking damage to the cover. As for the formatting of the content within, this is an EXACT reproduction of the original Seabury Press versions of the 1928 BCP. The only real difference I can find is the publisher name, which of course is the Oxford University Press for this version. Oxford seems to have taken on the reproduction of some of the former Seabury publications, and I think they've done an admirable job here. However, in comparison to more modern versions of the BCP, I do find this one harder to read and pick out certain passages just because of how the text is formatted. But this is just a product of the original formatting of the book, which Oxford has not modified. If readability is a big concern for you, then this may not be your favorite prayer book, but if you want a faithful reproduction of the original 1928 BCP, this is as good as it gets. If you know someone who loves this particular prayer book or is just a fan of traditional KJV-style language, I think this would make an awesome and thoughtful gift.
Review: beautiful and excellent book! - The book is well-made. it is small enough to be portable.. but not too small.. just the right size and weight! The cloth cover and sewn binding is durable; the paper clear, thick, and white; and the print dark, with the font sufficiently large and easy to read. Overall excellent! The contents itself is, of course, beyond reproach. It is a classic: the 1928 version of the BCP of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the USA. It uses Elizabethan English, just like the 1662 BCP, which i find elegant and solemn. This is a great book to buy and collect, and to keep on the shelf for laymen and ministers alike. it is also very useful for personal as well as small-group prayer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely version of the traditional BCP

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ order Sunday had it Tue- big surprise FAST
*by J***M on April 18, 2013*

I was surprised that it came so fast, I just used the standard set up when I ordered. The Prayer Book is easy to read, that is easy on the eyes no glare or fuzzy look, the print size and page are just right to make it easier to read. As I go thru the book I am enjoying going back to a tried and true religious book. I had read the reviews on this and did not mind the cover type, I do find it a more protective type of cover. Worth the money.
