California Proposition 65Word on Fire's Liturgy of the Hours, Second Edition brings the Church's ancient daily prayer into a volume built to be prayed with for a lifetime. Bound in natural full-grain leather — the highest grade used in bookbinding — each cover develops its own patina and grain pattern over years of use, while dye that penetrates the entire hide keeps it resistant to scratches and spills.
Inside, a silky, acid-free paper (14% brighter than the previous edition) carries a newly commissioned 11.4 pt typeface, up to 20% more readable than before, with rubrics moved to the margins for a cleaner, less cluttered page.
Sacred art by Gustave Doré appears throughout in custom metallic gold ink, and the page edges are finished in a shimmering red-to-gold art gilding. Seven ribbons mark your place through every hour, and sewn, reinforced binding lets the volume lay flat from the first page to the last.
Handcrafted in Italy from materials sourced from top leather, paper, and print houses in Spain, France, and Italy.
A beautifully crafted edition of the Liturgy of the Hours designed to accompany clergy, religious, and lay Catholics in the daily prayer of the Church for years to come.
