img{max-width:100%} CONDITION: It is possible that the bottom outer edge of the pages have been wet at some point because several pages are slightly lumpy in the bottom margin. Also, many pages have a thumb-sized wrinkled area at one or both corners, suggesting someone with damp fingers handled the pages. No water stain. Two pages are creased across the bottom corner. No writing or underlining. The gilt edges are rather scratched but the gold color is good. The vinyl cover's flap and sine are sunned, and as a result, those areas are a lighter shade than the rest of the cover. This vintage 4" x 6-1/2" book has a vinyl snap cover (the book can be removed, if you want), gilt-edges, 4 colored ribbon bookmarks. The book is designed for members of religious communities as well as laypeople who want to pray the liturgical hours without the extreme length or complexity of the full traditional breviary. The book includes morning and evening prayers, as well as prayers for various times throughout the day. Each section includes psalms, hymns, and readings from the Bible.
