Product Description
Product Description
The Book of Common Prayer is the old and well-loved prayer book of the Church of England, in use since the 16th century. It has also become one of the classic English texts, its prayers and expressions helping to mould the English language into what it is today. Cambridge's new editions of the Prayer Book have been freshly typeset for the 21st century, using a modern digital typeface to give a clear printing image and greater readability. Nevertheless the format and page layout of this book follow the earlier Large-Print Edition Prayer Book page for page. It provides the complete 1662 services – including the traditional forms of the baptism and marriage services. The prayer book comes in a burgundy imitation leather hardback binding and will be helpful for anyone needing slightly larger print for ease of reading.

Format:Hardcover
How can one review a masterpiece, born 1662 and still going strong? This enlarged print edition makes it more accessible than those with tiny print often seen in churches.
A valuable desktop companion for daily use and still of a pocketable size to carry with you.

Format:Hardcover
This review is for the BCP706 brown goatskin leather edition. Its a fabulous quality edition. The leather is soft and supple, the binding is handstiched and the paper has art-gilt edges. This is the traditional service book of the Church of England, often over shadowed by the new Common Worship service book introduced around 2000. However the BCP is still officially sanctioned as a set of rites for the COE and has been since 1662. Generally favoured by high Church and used for traditional worship services. I had the pleasure of visiting York Minister Catherdral over Easter earlier this year and was able to follow the morning service using my BCP which was a pleasant surprise.

Format:Leather Bound
This is the ultimate Prayer Book for those who enjoy the 1662 version. The leather is nice, and gets softer with use. The gold edges are consistent and not blotchy. My only gripe is that excess hard glue has seeped onto the inside areas of some pages. But I would buy it again even with that small flaw, especially since there is nothing better on the market.
