All I can say is "thank you". Everybody needs this common prayer book, regardless of your denomination. Reading through it gives one a feeling of belonging to a larger denomination - that of all Christians. The prayers in the back have the same effect. It's a must have item for anyone seeking a closer relationship with their creator.

I have used the common book of prayer for over 20 years. Although I am not Episcopalean, I love this book. It is really non denominational and it reminds us after all that all Christians belong to the Church of Jesus Christ. I recently went to minister to a friend and felt a little out of sorts without it. This book is actually a beautiful Christian jewel.1979 Book of Common Prayer, Economy Green Leather

As another reviewer noted, this is a hardback book, not leather. It's also printed on very thin and flimsy paper in teeeeeny type. The historical bits in the front of the book look like they're six-point type: the main text is ten-point. Don't buy this book if you're interested in putting it to hard, daily use and/or highlighting portions of text, or if your eyesight is less than keen.
