The congregation at large may not be able to tell the difference (although most people can instinctively spot when something's being done Right - indeed, I rather suspect that the reason these Traditions have been handed down to us is because they look like Traditions are popularly supposed to more than expected by chance) - the important thing is:
1. God knows the difference (He probably doesn't care, but He does know)
2. Other priests know the difference and are sure to mock you for it if they get to hear that you've allowed your PCC to foist the ASB on you or something.
3. That old lady who's been in the congo since the reign of George V knows. And if you do it wrong, you'll be cursed forever.
Obviously the tat queens in the vestry also know. But they're Mostly Harmless.

Certainly, I'd say most congregations would be quick to spot when something is done differently!
Also, Zach82, the priest shouldn't be muttering (well except for the secret prayers). And the level of knowledge amongst the laity will vary hugely from a tat queen to someone who's still trying to work out what all this strange bowing and crossing and not quite kneeling stuff is all about. It is also possible for the laity to be educated about this stuff. For example, I remember Father exhorting us to remember our baptisms and mentioning how one way of doing this was by crossing ourselves with holy water as we entered the church. This was a passing comment in the sermon, but it does give a bit more knowledge.
This is though a long way from book recommendations.

Songs of Syon (hymnal)
Anglicanism, compiled by More and Cross
(an anthology of excerpts from 16th and 17th century Anglican divines on various subjects)
Apostolic Succcession: is it true? by Felix Cirlot.
Boston Bohemia, by Douglass Shand-Tucci, essentially a biography of the early years (late 19th century in Boston) of the America's greatest neo-gothic architect, raised Unitarian and then converted rather dramatically to "the Anglican branch of the Holy Catholic Church." It is erudite and beautifully written, with a great deal of A-C analysis and lore.
And for light reading, the reminiscences of a former chaplain at Walsingham: Merrily on High, by Colin Stephenson.

Nobody seems to have mentioned G A C Whatton's "A Priest's Companion" which I have found indespensable. Next best thing to the Raccolta (although Ambrose St John's translation of the Latin is, in places, excruciating e.g. 'I compassionate thee, O Mary')

After discussions with the Locum, who is a Canon Emeritus, and keeps recommending good carthlick books to me, I thought I'd compile a library of everything people have recommended on here.
Before I do so, are there any other books any of you would like to recommend?
WIthout being frivolous, and in all seriousness, what are THE most IMPORTANT books for an Anglo-Catholic to have? I just cannot see myself being able to find or get *all* the books listed (the current list is about 3 A4 pages ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) )...

I'm not sure. Perhaps it depends on your position to a certain extent.
If you are an Anglo-Papalist who wishes to copy current Roman Catholic practice in its best sense, I would say Elliot's Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite and Ceremonies of the Liturgical Year, both published by Ignatius Press.
If you are more traditional, I would say the Canterbury Press reprints of The English Missal and The English Ritual, as well as the Farnborough Abbey Press edition of Fortescue's Ceremonies of The Roman Rite Described, and the APA reprint of Ritual Notes.
I would say that everyone should read Colin Stephenson's Merrily On High, if you can get hold of a copy.

Today I managed to pick up a copy of the 1934 edition of Fortescue's Ceremonies of the Roman Rite Described for Ł8. Not too bad a bargain. The cheapest vintage copy for sale on the Abebooks catalogue is about Ł18.
This edition retains a rather interesting preface by Fr Fortescue himself.

Nunc, I'm sure this collecting of a library is not something to be done quickly, it takes a lifetime of serendipitous discoveries in second hand bookshops, deceased estates, fortuitous gifts, and the like - I'm sure you'll eventually find most things on the list. When you eventually make your pilgrimage Home you'll also find that a lot of things are more easily obtainable than they are here too. Good luck with the hunting!

True enough. But it doesn't bode well that these things largely aren't to be obtained for love or money, even over the www.
I drooled on Friday, and exclaimed with envy, when I found a copy of The Parson's Handbook on the shelves of my training rector's office.
Her reply was, "So you want a book that tells you about how sheep should be placed on the village green..."
Well, yes. Actually.

Nunc,
Take heart - I have been able to get a reasonably interesting collection in only about five years; alongside luck, identifying good bookshops local to you and establishing a relationship with those online with a reputation in this field can only help. You are welcome to PM me if you would like a list of sources I am aware of but my search nearly always starts with the secondhand section of my local SPCK!

You didn't ask!
Other goodies include:
Clarke, Basil F.L.; CHURCH BUILDERS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY - A STUDY OF THE GOTHIC REVIVAL IN ENGLAND (as referenced earlier in this list, I think)
Several tracts by the SSPP (Society of Saint Peter and Saint Paul), with which Ronald Knox was heavily involved at one time and which produced the Anglican Missal.
Staley, Vernon; THE CEREMONIAL OF THE ENGLISH CHURCH (an interesting book from an “English Use” perspective.)
Here is the source: http://www.gagebooks.com/catalogue/Ang65.htm
I am telling myself that I DO NOT WANT and CANNOT AFFORD the SSPP Missal but I'm not sure if I have convinced myself yet.

eBay is often good if you are not in a hurry - e.g. a copy of Colin Stephenson's account of the Anglican shrine at Walsingham "Walsingham Way" went yesterday for Ł17. Just outside my limit, unfortunately.

I managed to order a copy of the second edition (1933) of The Priest's Book of Private Devotion from the Abebooks catalogue at a reasonable price today.
GAC Whatton's Priest's Companion is a work I shall be looking out for in the future, although I suspect that I had better not hold my breath while waiting for a copy! I may be able to borrow one from a priest friend, though. He's previously lent me Walsingham Way and Merrily On High. It broke my heart to have to return them!!!
Some of these scarce Anglo-Catholic works would make good reprint projects for publishers like Canterbury Press and Lancelot Andrewes Press.

Got my very nice copy of The Priest's Book of Private Devotion this morning, with which I am delighted. I would even recommend this work to RC priests! Perhaps Triple Tiara would care to skim through a copy!!!
I notice that the book was revised by a certain Father Bristowe of Bagborough. Wasn't he the priest referred to by Colin Stephenson in Merrily On High, who didn't approve of married priests and boasted of the seperations he had caused?!!!
My Anglo/Roman Catholic want list is currently as follows:-
Howard Galley - THE PRAYER BOOK OFFICE (second edition 1987, HarperCollins, I think. To go with my original edition of 1980.)
G A C Whatton - THE PRIEST'S COMPANION (Knott and Sons?)
Liturgical Press, Collegeville - THE DIVINE OFFICE (The pre-vatican II Roman Breviary in English and Latin in three volumes, c1963. Baronius Press are planning a reprint with revisions. Original editions can fetch a hefty price on eBay.)
Church Literature Association - A MANUAL OF CATHOLIC DEVOTION (original edition of 1950. I have the final edition of 1969)
Colin Stephenson - WALSINGHAM WAY and MERRILY ON HIGH (Darton, Longman and Todd)
In my experience, if you persevere in looking for rare books for long enough, they eventually come your way.

As a matter of interest, would any shipmates be interested in sharing details of books (worship-related) which they come across and which, although they themselves do not want them, might be of interest to others on the board? I ask since I often come across books which I do not want or cannot justify buying but which are likely to be of interest to someone on here, and I am sure others find the same. This might be a good way of sharing this sort of information. Any views welcome.
Anthony.

Checked again, and it is definately the Father Briscoe of Bagborough referred to by Colin Stephenson.
Actually, The Priest's Book of Private Devotion is a wonderful resource. It has material in both English and Latin, and I plan to use it in conjunction with my daily recitation of part of the LOH for additional prayers after the Office.
I wonder if Canterbury Press in Norwich would consider reprinting it, as they have done with The English Missal, The English Ritual, and The English Office. I'm sure many people would welcome it.

Has anyone mentioned The Parish Priest at Work: An Introduction to Systematic Pastoralis by Charles Robert Forder?
If this is the book I have in mind, it is indeed systematic, chock-full of specific nuts-and-bolts suggestions as to efficient administration, including self-discipline, alongside the more obviously spiritual issues. (The counterpart treatise for choirmasters would be John Bertalot's Immediately Practical Tips for Choral Directors.) Perhaps it was inspired by Jeremy Taylor's challenging precepts in Holy Living.
Perhaps it is not overtly Anglo-Catholic, although from what I remember it seems to have the right tone and a conscientious A-C parish priest would be glad to study it. I picked up a used copy while visiting England ca. 1974 (for a low price; many used books were inexpensive then) and some years later managed to lose it. Amazon lists two editions but knows of no copies currently available.
This book would be an eye-opener for anyone who imagines that a clergyman works mainly on Sunday and has little to do the rest of the week.

Don't know if anyone's mentioned The Parish Communion by AG Hebert. Read an essay or two last night. This book started it all in the MOTR parishes, and led to the Eucharist being celebrated as the main service in most Anglican churches, regardless of churchmanship.
The Call of the Cloister, by Peter Anson, though exclusively about the revival of religous life, captures a mood and a way of life that still inspires and informs throughout the world.

Thought of another:
The Haggerston Catechism, by H.A. Wilson.
This work was published in several small paperback volumes. It describes the successful curriculum and teaching methods that a great vicar of S. Augustine's, Haggerston used for his children's confirmation classes. This is/was an inner-city Anglo-Catholic parish in London.

Thought of another author that definitely ought to be included on this thread: Robertson Davies. A particular favourite of mine is his Salterton Trilogy. He shows a lot of perspicacity with regards to the Anglican Church in particular (he was an Anglican himself). I guess it wouldn't be unfair to describe him as a twentieth century Antony Trollope.
I also like his collection of essays, One half of Robertson Davies and his Deptford Trilogy.

OK. I've spent a few hours compiling a list of stuff posted to this thread up to the beginning of this page (at least).
Having done a massive amount of editing, could I ask that if you post a book title, if at all possible could you post its bibliographic details (Author, place of publication, publisher, date of publication), and also if possible, a link to a page where it can be ordered/viewed?
I've realised too that online resources are very important. So if you come across good A-C books/tracts/pamphlets/articles online, please post links!
For the time being I am posting Prayer Books, Lilturgical and Devotional Manuals. These were the easiest to pull into a bibliographic list; the fiction and non-fiction listings are more complicated...

Have I missed anything important?
If I've missed your country's prayer book, or something you feel is vital, please let me know: post here or PM me.

I'll look into setting up a catalogue containing all of these on LibraryThing.com - you can easily download the bibliographic data from Amazon or other libraries. Then you can keep adding to it.
Will think about doing the novels etc as well - it will be quite easy to distinguish them using tags.

I've realised too that online resources are very important. So if you come across good A-C books/tracts/pamphlets/articles online, please post links!
Why not start a del.icio.us page with these links, and posting the link on here? I can set one up if you like. That way, they're all in the one place and easily accessible through a single URL - and there's a chance you can discover similar sites at the same time.

OK everyone, I have started a new book collection in Library Thing, with the user handle 'ecclesiantics' - see here. I have put in most of the suggestions that have been listed on these threads, but I haven't yet done many prayer books or missals.
Library Thing offers suggestions for books that users may also like, listed under the 'Pssst...' tab (similarly tagged, people who own ... also own ... etc). The suggestions based on our catalogue already make for very interesting reading and perhaps will prompt shipmates to add more suggestions.
If anyone would like to contribute to the ecclesiantics Library Thing catalogue by adding more books or adding useful tags to the books already there, please PM me for the password.
I only ask that you please do not delete any of the books that are already there, and refrain from adding duplicate records.
