Quick Guide to Traditional MissalsReturn to top of Home Page
There are currently, in print, six different Latin-English Missals for the Traditional (Tridentine) Rite of Mass, and Southwell Books supplies them all. However, choosing the best one for you, or as a present for someone, can be a bewildering task - each one offers a different list of extra features, quality of printing and binding, and, of course, price. Therefore, to help you, at least, narrow down your choice, we have produced an "at-a-glance" comparative guide below of some of the more important features of a missal. At the top of the table we've listed content criteria; at the bottom criteria relating to physical appearance and manufacture. We'll be adding to the list in accordance with the feedback and questions we receive from customers.

If you simply want a missal for use on Sundays and Holydays with the Ordinary and Proper, all our missals will do good service. If you have extra requirements (such as liturgical music notation, for example) then some will be more suitable than others. We suggest you also read the fuller description for each missal (click on the title of each one). You are also encouraged to phone us (or email us) and we will be very happy to try to answer any questions you still have before making your choice.

Bonded leather is a trade term for a method of book covering that provides a cheaper alternative to real leather, while retaining the leather feel. A coating made from leather off-cuts is applied to hardback boards and then embossed to give the look of real leather.
