I downloaded a PDF copy and have been reading it that way.

At present we don’t have any warehousing in the UK. So there’s sadly no way we can bring the shipping down at this juncture, for our warehoused books (as opposed to some of our paperbacks) Sorry to disappoint Perhaps you could find a local Christian bookshop who could buy 10 copies or something, and then the cost would be radically brought down?

@@benjefferies8531 Thanks, Ben, no worries. Any word yet on pricing of the new editions?

@@richardmyerscough5242 Yes -- $55

I will talk with the CEO about this. The ESV portion wouldn’t be distributable- but perhaps the first 600 pages might be - for those who bought the hard copy like yourself… let me look into this

The trouble is - a less expensive edition would be a glue-bound paperback - that would deteriorate to uselessness in less than 3 months, and thus disappoint every customer. So - Anglican house can’t in good faith sell such. Price was kept as low as possible on the breviary - but I know it’s still a bit of an investment. When you think about all the books you get “in one” there - BCP, bible, hymnal, etc - it is evident that it’s not THAT expensive.

@@benjefferies8531 I agree with this sentiment. It's worth every hard earned penny.

@@benjefferies8531 That makes perfect sense. And if the photos are indication, it looks like a very beautiful book that will wear nicely! It'll just mean saving up for a little while

$55

Which artwork do you mean?

End of December

Oops - good catch. It will be for sale toward the end of Dec 2024

No - this was just done years ago when all there was was the pew edition :)

Many thanks!

Glad it was helpful!

Lay out flat*

Not at first. The page-lay is somewhat rounded. Small books, with the smaller page size and therefore less page-weight - don’t usually lay very flat. But over time and with use it would come to lay flat-ish.

Ah, that would have been better, yes. This vid was made very quickly as a “rough” tutorial for those who learn by ear

Yes - sort of. A new edition is being produced that is calf-skin not goat-skin, and has a more decorated type-setting (red and black, decorated drop caps, etc) - and a different design on the cover It should be live for sale around Christmas. There will also be a “noted for plainsong edition” coming out at the same time, which will have a very similar design, but will be the pointed psalter from the St Bernard breviary

S-57 in the 1982 Hymnal of the Episcopal Church

Thanks for the feedback! So glad it is/was a blessing

Thanks!

I went to Nashotah House. I think of Lutherans as our nearest theological cousins as an Anglican. If I am in a small midwestern town with no Anglican Church (ACNA or continuum) my next search would be for an LCMS parish

The body text is 9.5 if I recall. It’s on the ALP website somewhere (which I keep needing to update)

@@benjefferies8531 thank you.

There isn’t. I’m a hardcover devotee :)

@@benjefferies8531 No problem. I bought it anyway and it arrived today 🙂

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeh about 1500 hours :)

@@benjefferies8531 Wow! What an investment! We are grateful for your sacrifice.

Because modern English is my mother tongue :)

@@benjefferies8531 Yes, and your book will be outdated in 10 years because people praying in modern English will be saying : Hey, god what's up? That will be your new normal.

@@stephanottawa7890 If that's the case, then in 10 years, "2019 English" will appear to them as archaic as 16th century English. Which is fine. I don't hate on Traditional Language prayers. It is merely my experience that Trad. Lang. draws attention to itself, rather than being a transparent conduit of meaning. And, as a priest, I have observed that this can heighten the danger of over-prizing aesthetics -- a danger to which we Anglicans are already prone, and need to be vigilant in not falling into. The St. Bernard Breviary actually HAS trad. lang. canticles as options, FWIW. I think we Novus Ordo folks can have beautiful things too; what is old does not have a unique claim over beauty.

@@benjefferies8531 Okay, have it your way. I know that you priests have to have the last word.

I’m really sorry to hear you received a defective copy. Email info at Anglican house and show a pic of the smudging - and they will replace at no cost

@@benjefferies8531 just did!

If you mean all of the manual acts that might be found in an Anglican Missal - no.

Sure! Here’s what I do. (I don’t mark the start of the offices - because I just know that page number: 38 and 138 respectively - the first morning canticle in MP - the prayer for the day of the week MP - the psalms for the day for midday prayer - the Magnificat - the prayer for the day of the week EP - the psalms appointed - in the hymnal - the collect of the week - the common collects section - the Bible readings - the examen at the back (if you don’t need a ribbon for midday)

Sure you can email me - Info @ goodshepherdoa [Dot] Org

Thank you again for your work with this, it's a skill I didn't even know I was lacking, and has brought our family a lot of joy.

What a joy to hear this! Yes and yes - A stand alone psalter (extracted from the breviary) will be for sale from Anglican House toward the end of the year. And - Resurrection Anglican Clarksville has begun recording beautiful high quality recordings of the Bernard psalter - and posting them on UA-cam. When complete - I think they will also post to Spotify. Check them out!

Thanks for the kind feedback

Glory to God!!

Also, can I mention I love the smell? Yes, I sniff new Bibles and Prayerbooks.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Bishop Lyons!

Yes - or even perhaps a little more so

Your comment is what I dreamed of throughout the ~1500 hours it took to make the breviary. :) May God bless you in the use of it!

If you print it 32 pages at a time (1-32, 33-64, etc) and print as “bulletin” - that does the trick

Yes, Father - indeed thought was given to this functional/material matter. It’s not that the middle lasts longer, than say, page 100. It’s rather that the first signature (16-32 pages) receives extra wear and tear because it is attached to the end leaf and so it gets tugged on every time the book is opened. There are 65 pages of front matter prior to Morning Prayer - and so I considered this sufficiently interior to not receive extra wear and tear. And the binding was designed to lay flat on all the pages, which indeed it does. Ample gutter margin also means that content isn’t lost in the deep bend on the interior of every page. It also seemed less than desirable to me to have the Bible readings at the beginning, as an “office sandwich” - from a flow point of view. I am confident that by the time the book would wear out on the pages that contain the office - the content will have been 100% memorized by the user at that point :)

I do, yes.

Yup!!

The page size is 4.3x6”

A great compliment! Thanks!
