Aquinas Books has a beautiful one…very exhaustive in breadth and depth…a lot of beautiful prayers which you don’t often hear today…its “in the Spirit of Vatican II”…so, they did not throw out or disregard many traditional prayers passed on down through the centuries.

Its a 1960;s edition reprint… @ 750 pages but very compact…
H x W x D:** 6 3/8**" (16.1 cm) x 4" (10.1 cm) x 0 3/4" (1.90 cm)…beautifully bound, typeset…with soft leather cover…great quality paper…supple and thin…costs a bit more though…@$34…but well worth it in my mind. Got these for my sons and daughter…had Aquinas engrave their name on front cover (@$10)…its a treasure for all of them…not because my wife and I gave it…but because of the beautiful prayers and quality workmanship in the book.

FYI:…Aquinas is a little slow in setting shipping dates…not an "overnight…2-3 business days company…but a darn good company and dedicated to quality products and quality service to customers.

Hope this is helpful.

This prayer book is also rich in breadth and depth and brings forward many great “old” devotional prayers…very compact. My only negative…wish the “Contents” pages…listing prayers…was a little more detailed…as it is,…when I find a favorite prayer…I must note name and page inside back cover…or use “sticky tabs”…otherwise…search can take awhile to find in again on another occasion…not a big deal but just to share.

La Pieta Prayer Book. Also My Meditations on the Gospel - put out by the Confraternity of the Precious Blood. Both are pocket sized although one also needs to read the Bible in conjunction with the Gospel book. Luckily, I have a pocket sized Catholic edition of the New Testament.

 

[Bookcat]

Handbook of Prayers is a good one…and even has Latin and the new translation of the Mass
