With the third typical edition of The Roman
Missal, Liturgy Training Publications preserves its commitment to quality
of design and materials while ensuring affordability. The gold foil stamp cover
design that draws on the history of Christian art is as visually strong, simple,
and elegant as it is theologically rich. Interior art portrays narrative
illustrations significantly based in scripture and tradition. The cover and
binding materials have been chosen for beauty and durability. The Smyth sewn
case binding is of the highest quality available and the sturdy cover materials
have a soft, luxurious, leather-like feel. The Lexatone double end sheets
strengthen the book, combining modern materials and traditional bookbinding
techniques. The combination of theologically rich images, high quality binding,
cover materials, end sheets, ribbons, and tabs endow the book with the elegance
of old world craftsmanship and the functionality and sturdiness required for
everyday use.
