You might know these books by another name,1,2 Chronicals.The name "Paralipomenon"is the Greek meaning things left out.I have the Bishop Challoner edition.Again these books are in all Catholic Bibles by the name of Chronicals.Hope this helps.Rocky

The Books of Paralipomenon (Chronicles)
(Paraleipomenon; Libri Paralipomenon)

See newadvent.org/cathen/11472a.htm for a full explanation. To answer your question, yes it is a good book and should be cherished.

You know I think I got one of those also at the Amvest store. How much did you have to pay for that on ebay?

I’ve been wanting the Jerusalem (not new Jerusalem) Douay-Rheims – the one with all the study notes – but they are so hard to find.

Also, I’ll share with you a secret. It’s called abebooks.com

It’s a good place to get books…AND, I’ll tell you I find amazing Catholic books and Bibles at the local Amvet stores. I bought a Peter Kreeft “Everything you wanted to ask about Heaven” this week for less thant $1.

Yup, one dollar, and I bought a biography by Carl Bernstein and that Italian journalest about Pope JP2 (His Holiness is the name of the book.

I buy the used Catholic Bibles to give away to people who want to read the Bible or want a different Catholic translation than the NAB.

You don’t want this one. It doesn’t have the foot notes you want.
amazon.com/JERUSALEM-BIBLE-Alexander-Jones/dp/B000B9RGUM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240657769&sr=8-3

This is a site on amazon that has a used one. I bought one from here and it was in gtreat condition.
Good Luck
