I am looking for a Roman Breviary, preferably the 1962 edition. If anyone is looking to unload an old breviary, drop me a line.

Have you tried checking in sacristy corners of churches near you? They can be goodly treaure troves of such items which you may even be able to get free.
 
The problem is that I do not have a credit card because I do not desire to accumulate any debt (which would disqualify me from applying to seminary), so that makes it hard to order a breviary online.

None of the churches in my area were built before the 1970s unfortunately, so I cannot see any of them having such things lying around.
 
I would’ve said try here because they’ve had Breviaries before even when it said out of stock… but if you’ve no means of online payment, then that is tricky!
 
If you want, I can order it for you. PM me. Of course, you don’t know me so you might not want to trust me, its up to you.

Thank you for the offer. I am first going to see if one of the priests at my parish can order it for me, but if that falls through I’ll send you a message. But thanks 🙂
 
I have a 1964 English breviary that has only Lauds, Vespers and Compline. It comes with its original case. I guess it used to belong to some priest. I don’t know if you would want it though.

Thank you for the offer, but I am really looking for a full breviary in Latin so that I can use it both for my private prayer and use whenever the offices are sung at my parish.

But thank you 🙂

Two words for you…debit card

I don’t have a credit card either but I have a job, therefore an income and my debit card is tied to my checking account.

Debit cards can be used as credit cards.
 
Two more words for you: E Bay.

And, another two: Pay Pal (you can submit payment from your bank account).

I have a debit card, but it never works online :banghead:
 
  1. find the book you want.
  2. determine the total cost, including shipping & handling.
  3. have a friend with a credit card order it.
  4. Pay the friend in cash.
or
  1. Pay for the book with a money order, which is like cash.
  2. Buy on eBay and pay with a check, cashier’s check or MO, or thru paypal which is linked to your bank account, as others have suggested.

While it’s not the most user-friendly way to read a book here’s a scan of one from 1861.

I don’t think that would do for Caesar - there was one major change in 1911, and some significant ones in 1956 and 1962- so it’d be quite difficult to navigate through the whole thing to do everything accoring to the revised sequence (and of course, some material would not be there).

Just some friendly advice - my wife and I have had credit cards for the last 3-4 years (we’re still young) and never paid a cent of interest or let a charge ride, so as long as you never use the card for more than you can afford, you needn’t accumalate any debt.

I would also make very sure that what is being “advertised” as a '61/'62 Breviary is the real deal - liturgical books seem to be notorious be being mistaken for other editions, like the “1962 altar missals” sold online that do not have Joseph in the Canon.

Unfortunately I also have a general bad outlook on credit cards because of a little family history. My mother was notorious for getting a credit card and then going on a spending spree, maxing out the card in a week, and I would be stuck answering the phone and telling the creditors she was on vacation.

Yes, this is something I do wish to avoid. But then, in my case, any edition of the breviary is better then none.
