A 1928 Book of Common Prayer from Deus Publications

A brief look at the Deus Publications personal edition of the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer (ISBN: 9780985331504).

It is available for sale here: https://deusbooks.org/product/1928-bo... .

The Deus Publications personal edition is 6 3/8 x 4 1/4 x 1 1/8 inches in dimensions. The paper is heavy, durable, and opaque. The binding is sewn, but the volume refuses to lie open.

In this video I compare the Deus Publications personal edition with two Oxford editions:

(1) a recently printed brown hardback, ISBN 9780195285253, with a 12.5 pt font; and
(2) an old pocket edition in calfskin printed on India paper, with a 9.5 pt font (07356x).

The font in the Deus Publications personal edition is essentially the same as in the older Oxford pocket edition. The print is lighter but crisper.

On page liii, The Deus Publications personal edition includes a revised table for finding Easter Day, which extends through 2127 A.D. The table in older editions ran through 2013.
