Thanks for watching!
The visuals of this Beauty blew me away starting with the cover and spine. Then you opened the book and I couldn’t remove my eyes and ears until the end. Stunning and beauty beyond what I can comprehend on this dimension. 🥰❤️🥰
Contrary to what I said here, it was not in January Sale that I got this, but actually in the Black Friday sale, it's just that it took over a month to get to me, and, if you have a look at the link in the description, you'll see that it is in fact still on sale (at the time of uploading Feb 2020) ;)
How much did you get it for the black Friday sale?
Fantastic overview! It is a beautiful edition of the Prayer Book, & I’m grateful to have recently got hold of one myself. The font size is much more easily readable than Cambridge’s Standard edition of the BCP too, so it will probably become my go-to for the daily office while I’m at home.
Always enjoying your videos! Thank you for the review !
Thats brilliant. Thanks so much. Added to my wish list...
Already have small plain black leather 'pocket' BCP so wasn't planning to get this, but the endless dance of death convinced me!
Thanks for this review 🙏. I just bought a still sealed mint condition version of eBay. 👍
Folio books are pretty expensive but some of the most beautiful books ive seen.
I totally agree!
Beutiful review as usual, looks like I'm going to buy it ... deem yourself responsible! ; ) Cheers, hope you are well. I am always following you!
:D Given how gorgeous the item is in this case, I'll allow myself to drop the guilt level by a percentage point or two ;D
Best wishes to you, @Carlo! Thanks as always for your much-appreciated support!
Very nice but what I really wished I owned was that facsimile of The Book of Kells you own. Magnificent!
It’s $60-65 on Amazon.
Yes, for sure! Both are gorgeous artifacts!
Magnificent edition.
Oh yes! I don't know if I have any more beautiful books in my collection than this one!
Absolutely stunning book
It's really unusual to see something of this quality at this price-point. Utterly stunning, as you say! :)

Oh this is a beauty Denis, time to buy a new bookshelf or two?
This one still fits, just about! 😅
A piece of history
Indeed! You can very tangibly feel it.
I did giggle with the author got stuck on death. I thought it would never end lol.
😂
let me have it.
