Overview


Miniature editions of the Book of Common Prayer are highly collectible vintage religious texts, like the one we have on offer they typically measure around 4.5 cm x 4.5 cm.  Often they feature full leather bindings gilt edges, and original publisher imprints from the late 19th or early 20th centuries. 


Publishers such as Cambridge at the University Press & Oxford University Press produced these as portable, personal pocket editions for church services. 


Occasionally they will feature embellished silver covers or more rarely slipcases.  Slipcases get damaged easily and are often at church
