Welcome to Southwell Books - an independent, family-run Catholic bookseller. All the titles we supply are in line with the Catholic Church's timeless teaching on faith, doctrine, morals and liturgy.
 |
 |
 | Isabella of Spain: The Last Crusader William Thomas Walsh A queen in her own right, she married King Ferdinand of Aragon, and together they forged modern Spain, cast out the Moslems, and discovered the New World by backing Columbus. Her life reads like a novel. | |
 | Penance and Fasting Msgr. Philip E. Hallett Excellent booklet which reminds the reader of the many spiritual reasons for undertaking penance and fasting, and the Church’s laws on such matters. | |
 | Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture, A Bishop Frederick Justus Knecht, D.D. Not a work for scholars this, but rather a very practical book for ordinary Catholics. It hands on to new generations the classical Scriptural teachings on faith and morals (from both Old and New Testaments) in a manner that is easy to understand.

 |
 |
|
 | Book of Books: The Old Testament Retold, The Henri Daniel-Rops The Bible is less read and less familiar than it once was, and we need to rediscover its riches. How better to do that than through this delightful retelling by a master storyteller of the sacred tales of the Creation, the Fall, the Flood, and the Covenant made between God and His people?
|
|
 | Ordo Recitandi (2010) The Ordo contains the necessary directions for those who wish to sing the Office and Mass of any day in the Liturgical Year according to the classical Roman Rite. |

| Quick Guide to Traditional Missals | Return 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.
