Otherwise if they only request a small amount of missals to be printed, the local printsite will have to charge a much higher rate. That being said, they probably don't have the cash up front right now to be able to pay for an order on the magnitude of 10 to 20 thousand missals. Legion Ambrosius,

So their sales thus far will help them down the road, but for now, they need us to contribute generously. I don't know. Got me.

I'm a big Angelus Press fan, as you know, but I am just completely confused by this request of theirs. Iosephus, do you have any other theories about why they might need the money?

When they were first printed, the Angelus missal was cheaper, but the Baronius missal had a genuine leather cover. I think that the Angelus missal (which also is now available in a leather cover) has nicer proportions, that is, the book is bigger and so easier to read. I really don't have strong feelings one way or another - except for purposes of sassing. DJB, I only said that to sass Clara.

(Personally, the only real drawback for me is the printing of liturgical music in chant notation, which I can't really read.)

I think that this must be a crafty plot to seduce unwary traditionalists into supporting the SSPX. Hmmm . . . good point.

I've never heard of a bookseller saying: "Sales are hot! So we need your donations." What happened to the at least $50 times 20, 000 = $1 million that they got from selling those 20, 000 hand missals? The reprinting costs are only around $140, 000, after all!
