I don't know if I should just add this to my Sarum Use thread, but it is a seperate book and strictly speaking not a part of the Sarum Use - I've found a copy of the 'Altar Book' by a 'Committee of Priests' which apparently contains a heavily Sarum-interpolated Order of Mass with the Gelasian Canon, full rubrics and private prayers. It sounds, forgive me, a Godsend, but the bookseller would like nearly two hundred pounds, which, although liturgical books always run to the expensive; and it's a beautiful book, could be put towards something else out of tight budgets!
Does anyone have a copy and is it suitable? To what extent to the Sarum interpolations run? if it's merely the BCP with a small selection of Prayer Book Catholic propers, well , there are less expensive ones and I will press on with the Sarum Missal, but from the description it sounds far fuller and I'm very, very strongly inclined to buy it, but I can't see it in person.

I'm not sure there's enough here for a whole separate thread. I've added your post to the Random Liturgical Questions thread and I'm going to close this one. You can see your post and any replies there.
