Excerpts from the Roman Missal, Large Cloth-Bound Edition

On February 1, 2018, Catholic Book published Excerpts from the Roman Missal. This publication, informally known as The Book of the Chair, contains the texts of the Roman Missal used by the celebrant while at the chair.

Approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, this slimmer companion text addresses the concerns about the weight of the Roman Missal. At roughly half the page count of the full Roman Missal, Excerpt from the Roman Missal will be appreciated by both Celebrants and altar servers.

The large Clothbound Edition of Excerpts from the Roman Missal includes all the enhanced features that celebrants have come to know and trust from Catholic Book Publishing: Large, easy-to-read type; printed and doubly reinforced end papers; durable, functional tabs; a sturdy, Roxite cover; and satin ribbon markers that add an elegant finishing touch. Specially produced acid-neutral cream paper from established, quality mills ensures the highest opacity available in the world and consistency of the highest degree, without adding unnecessary bulk and weight.
