Review: Worth buying for use at home - The book is considerably big and thick. But it's because the font size is big enough to read without glasses, and the text is not squeezed to save space. The paper quality is good. It's thick. And the binding allows the book to stay open on the table. It's paperback edition so understandably it's not using hard covers. For me it's perfect cause I only use it at home. I'm not member of the Episcopalian church and bought the book for its beautiful prayers Review: Very good! - What a great asset. Lots of prayers and information. Use daily!

Large, thick book.
1 star only because of the poor condition and it is not new or pocket sized as expected.

Old-timey relevance in today’s crazy world.
I’m a small town farm kid who was raised Catholic. “Episcopal” was probably a bad word when I was a child, yet here we are. This book just arrived and I’m not 50 pages in and although it was purchased for its historical value it’s contemporary relevance should neither be understated nor overlooked. The fun part for me is its Olde English style that imparts that “everyday words of wisdom and hope from beyond” vibe. Since the lot of it is about mass, this Episcopalian prayer book rings familar even to a Catholic. It’s a good one to have, regardless of your denominational upbringing. You probably won’t pick this one up every day but it totally belongs on your bookshelf. This is also a fairly thick copy with an average font size so your current reading glasses should work well and it feels good on a lap. It’s not recommended for a backpack, but it’s totally fine for the home or a day on the beach.
