Natural Full-Grain Leather
This is the most premium leather ever featured on a Word on Fire book, the highest quality grade possible for bookbinding. The natural full-grain leather uses the entire hide, ensuring it will patina beautifully over time rather than degrade with use. Because the leather is fully penetrated with dye, it is resistant to scratches, rain, or coffee spills that may happen with daily use.

Silky & Durable Paper
To allow the words to leap clearly off the pages, the paper is 14% brighter than the previous edition, which decreases page “ghosting” and is easier to read in low light. This silky-smooth, acid-free paper is built for longevity, designed to resist yellowing after decades of use. (11.4 font print)

Art Gilding
Paper edges are finished with a custom red-to-gold art gilding that gives multidimensional depth. As the pages catch the light, the color shifts between red and gold, creating a dynamic, iridescent shimmer.

Durable Reinforced Construction
The first and last pages, the points of greatest stress, are reinforced using innovative binding methods. This specialized construction protects the spine against separation and cracking, so that the book endures thousands of openings without losing its integrity.

Seven Secure Ribbons
Each volume features seven unique ribbons, two more than the current version to mark all the prayers needed. To allow the binding to flex open easily, a custom method of adhering the ribbons to the binding was developed. This ensures the ribbons stay secure without compromising the book’s lay-flat performance.

Strong and Flexible Stitching
The Liturgy of the Hours is stitched for both strength and flexibility. Sewn binding ensures the book lays flat when open for optimal holding and a more appealing prayer experience.

Easily Accessible Canticles
Each volume features thicker pages at the back of the book with the most frequently used canticles, adding structural reinforcement to the binding. Because these prayers are also printed in the Ordinary and on stand-alone cards, this edition offers three easy ways to help you learn the new translation.
