… I think that I would look at the long-term cost and weigh that against just purchasing the LOTH.
That site just appears to display it on the webpage. What would make this service different is that it would format it (along with personal choices such as hymn selection) into a booklet for copying for, say, a parish setting.
What the user would really be paying for is the typesetting and saving yourself the time and effort of doing it yourself.
In that case you would need to check with pastors or business managers to see what they would be willing to pay. It’s the same kind of trade-off that comes with purchasing hymnals that can be used for many years versus disposable materials.
Lucky! Though, my group did such a splendid job with Vespers when the Bishop came that my Pastor is looking to have Vespers perhaps several times a year (for special occasions).
Indeed.
That, my friend, is quite possibly one of the coolest things I’ve heard of in recent memory.
If I may ask – how did/do you deal with the issue of people being noisy as they leave the Church (jib-jabbing with their friends for upwards of 15-20 minutes after Mass ends – usually as they work their way towards greeting the Priest)?
The priest doesn’t greet people after daily Masses. He goes in the sacristy to take off his chasuble then comes back in the chapel to pray with us. And if people want to talk they usually leave the chapel so there isn’t an issue.
I think you’ve probably succeeded in confusing all of our non-techie members
LOL. That was kind of the point. Sarcasm != useful online. =)Looks interesting, but personally I prefer the hard book copy. I can imagine groups who’d find it useful though.

Besides, all the cool people use CUPS
Though, if one has their (Unix/Linux
) system setup right, lp/lpr should handle the dirty work for you.
