The Horologion (Sophia Press)
The cover isn't limp but it is sturdy and flexible.
Lays flat relatively well. Though as an Office book I don't see the need for it to do so. This is a sewn binding.
The spine of this beautiful book. In this photo you can really see how nice and thick the leather cover is. This cover feels the same as the Publican's Prayer Book. I'm not sure if it is a type of bonded or genuine leather. Still - its wonderful. Publishers should take note of this cover and copy it to the best of their ability.
An example of the modest but well done artwork in the Horologion.
The typesetting is excellent, and the wider margins with large text are extremely easy on the eyes.
Buy it from Sophia Press here.

Hi Christian - Comments like yours are the reason I do book reviews.
I'd be interested to read your comments once you get your copy. Don't be put off by the mail-order system of Sophia Press. I sent them a money order and received the book within a week. It was incredibly fast.
Looks stunning. Once again, I just wished they used traditional language. I really enjoy the pictures you post with your reviews btw.
hi Matt,
do you still happen to have this book? I was wondering if there is a need for priests; i'll be praying alone.
DO you happen to know if any Eastern books contain something like Matins/Office of Readings? Does this book have something like that?
thank you.
