The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Office of the Dead by Angelus Press (2015-05-04)

I received my copy from Angelus Press and I'm very glad I purchased this. The font is wonderful and not hard on the eyes(I've owned the Baronius Press version for a long time and as much as I adore it the font gets harder to read as the years pass), they layout is VERY easy to follow (it's laid out exactly like their Officium Divinum). I would have given it 5 stars, but the only thing that stopped me were the 2 things I'd like to see them do first. 1) Sew the pages instead of gluing and 2) include the commemorations of St Joseph and the other saints. If the pages were sewn instead of glued and the commemorations were there this would be a 5 star review. And Angelus press, if you're reading this, myself and many others would gladly pay $30 for your Little Office with the Office of the Dead AND the commemorations in a book this size with a sewn binding to make it more durable and last longer. But, I have always supported the SSPX and Angelus Press and will continue to do so and this is just one more in a long line of great products from them.

As an Eastern Orthodox Christian I love that the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a preschism, and thus, fully Orthodox prayer book. As a student of the Latin language, I love that the English as well as the Latin are present to facilitate learning. As a person who loves good poetry, I love how the translators have rendered their translation in a way that is beautiful, with good rhythm and which even rhymes, and not in a juvinille and repetative way. I heartily recommend this to Western Rite Orthodox Christians and also to traditionally minded Catholics.

This is an easy to use, highly portable Little Office in Latin and English. I love that I can take it anywhere for prayer. 1962 edition by Angelus Press.

Perfect size. Easy to use, straight forward. Beautiful. The addition of the office of the dead makes this stand out from other little office of BVM books.

The book itself is beautiful. I only wish it had ribbons.

This is a lovely little book, beautifully printed containing all the chief prayers, meditations, psalms, and creeds of the Catholic Church in the original Latin and English. I took off one star because I was not completely happy with the physical quality of the book. It is small (about 4 inches by six inches and about half an inch thick) and seems rather flimsy for a 20 dollar book. While the cover is glossy and black with shiny gold printing it is basically a paperback with the pages glued, not sewn in. I'm glad to own the book since I am interested in Ecclesiastical Latin but I do think it is somewhat over priced

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to draw closer to Our Mother and to honor her. The traditional wording of the prayers is beautiful. Combined with meditation and personal prayer, it has helped me to draw closer to her!

Very nice handy book of prayers with decent binding.👍
