4.0 out of 5 stars Oxford Univ. Press ed - nice presentation, tiny print, January 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The 1979 Book of Common Prayer, Personal Size Edition (Hardcover)
The Oxford University Press version is more of a gift or presentation object of this text than a study version. It has a substantial hard cover, gilt edges, and marker ribbon. It is very nicely made. My disappointment with this version includes the limitations of the paper stock (the book comes with instructions indicating that the paper is susceptible to bleed through from pens or other markers) and the small typeface in which the Historical Documents section and Lectionary are printed. This is unfortunately too unkind to my middle-aged eyes (even with bifocals). As much as I like the way this edition is made, I am going to return it for one that can be used for study.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book of Common Prayer, May 4, 2000
By Kate Lapczynski (Tullahoma, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 1979 Book of Common Prayer, Personal Edition (7414) (Leather Bound)
This particular edition is an elegant book, a "must own" for anyone practicing or interested in the Episcopalian/Anglican church. Clear and lucid explanations of the rites, vestments, symbols and rituals as well as a complete compendium of all the elements of the service. As an ex-Catholic coming to the church in mid-life, I have found it an invaluable resource.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Book-Bad print, November 22, 1999
This review is from: The 1979 Book of Common Prayer, Personal Edition (Leather Bound)
I love the content and presentation. This book however will not be read by just the young.The print is smaller than most religious books I have seen and is very difficult to read for long. Beautiful cover and very regal looking --
