Book of Common Prayer, Standard Edition, Red, CP220 Red Imitation leather Hardback 601B

The Book of Common Prayer is the cherished and historic prayer book of the Church of England, having been in use since the 16th century. In its revised 1662 form, it has evolved into one of the classic English texts, with its prayers and expressions contributing significantly to shaping the English language as we know it today.

Cambridge's new editions of the prayer book have been carefully typeset for the 21st century, employing a modern digital typeface to ensure a clear print image and enhanced readability. Despite these updates, its format and page layout remain true to the previous version of the Standard Edition Prayer Book, originally produced in the early 20th century, preserving the layout page for page.

It offers the complete 1662 services, including the traditional forms of baptism and marriage services, which have significantly influenced the English language. This particular edition is presented in a red imitation leather cased binding, making it an ideal choice for use in the pew.
