I came across this new edition of Celebrating Common Prayer quite by accident and purchased it straight away.
I have not been disappointed !
As a user of the old "Celebrating Common Prayer" office book I found the transition to the interim Common Worship "Daily Prayer" easy but not entirely satisfactory especially when travelling (office book plus lectionary plus bible!)
The new interim Common Worship Daily Prayer book is an attempt to improve on Celebrating Common Prayer and only partially succeeds as it tries too hard to include everyone and thus cuts our good traditional optional material and confuses the sequence of offices in the book. This new portable volume brings the texts of CCP into line with Common Worship while providing a great office book for travellers AND it includes a good range of traditional material such as the Angelus and other ancient prayers of the Church.
It is the best of both worlds - I hope that the final version of Common Worship Daily Prayer shows the same wisdom.
If you want to pray a CCP style Daily Office but want to travel light - Buy this book!

I am an American Episcopalian who purchased this book on a visit to London 2 years ago, and have used it almost every day since. As the previous reviewer noted, it provides a compact alternative to the Church of England's new 'Common Worship: Daily Prayer'. It may be used alone while traveling or supplemented by lectionary, Bible, and/or appropriate anthologies such as the Society of St. Francis' companion volumes, 'Celebrating the Saints' and 'Celebrating the Seasons', at home.

Ingenious system for daily Christian prayer
7 Jan 2005
"Celebrating Common Prayer" (in 2 editions: Pocket, in buckram over boards, and Presentation, in leather with ribbon marker) was devised by the Society of St. Francis of the Church of England. It contains 7 different services of Morning and Evening Prayer, designed for either group or individual use. Each is linked to one of the 7 seasons of the Church Year, with variations for each day of the week. During the 2 long periods of "ordinary time" following Epiphany and Pentecost, these 7 services are used (with minor modifications) in a 7-week cycle, again with variations for each day of the week. The book follows the plan of the Church of England's new "Book of Common Worship: Daily Prayer," but is more compact and self-contained. Everything needed for daily prayer is here, but may be supplemented with other scriptural or devotional readings. Also contains prayers for a variety of special occasions and a short service of night-time prayer. Travels well. The Archbishop of Canterbury has given copies of CCP to other bishops and recommended its use.
