The binding and paper of this are very sturdy, but not built for comfort. The volume doesn't contain any ribbons, so moving around between parts of the text is not easy. The wording of this volume is my preference for wording, so I love that about it. However, if you are not a fan of VERY traditional English this is not for you. This volume also doesn't have additional commemorations or prayers for specific events/circumstances. If you are looking for something that is very serious, very traditional, and works well for very linear thinkers, this is probably the volume for you. If that's not you, this is not for you.
