Beauty & Durability:

• Binding. Bound in deluxe genuine padded Italian leather.
• Cover decoration. Gold decorative blocking on front, back and spine, plus Florentine gold blocking on inside lip of cover. Cruciform design based on Byzantine St George's cross; border design inspired by Ingeborg Psalter.
• Durable spine. Ribbed spine gives greater durability and ensures the volume lies flat and keeps its shape over time.
• Strong binding. Endpapers made of extra-strong tear-resistant Skinplast® to ensure durability.
• Gilded page edges.
• Colour illustrations. Full-colour illustrations from the 12th-century Ingeborg Psalter (Musée Condé), printed on high-quality art paper.

• Leather tabs. 18 hand-placed genuine leather tabs with gold blocking to mark each page of the 4 main Eucharistic Prayers, and the principal rites (Communion Rite, Blessings, etc).
• Ribbons. Six liturgically-coloured 25mm-wide ribbons with hand-sewn butterfly ends to ensure no fraying. Expertly joined to the volume to prevent tangling.
• National Propers. Contains National Propers for England and Wales, Scotland, and Australia, all placed in the Proper of Saints with each in its correct place (i.e. not placed separately in an appendix).
• Concelebration. All Eucharistic Prayers, including those for Reconciliation, are annotated for up to 4 concelebrants.
• Index. Fully indexed, including National Propers.

• Paper. Cream, low-reflectivity, high-contrast paper: thicker, more durable 100 gsm for Order of Mass, 60 gsm for other, less-frequently used parts. Sustainably sourced, archive grade.
