I concur with the other reviewers that this is one of the best hymnals available today for the Novus Ordo mass. It is beautifully bound with two ribbon markers for the mass and the hymns. The order of the mass is divided in such a way that it makes it very easy to follow for those that are not familiar with the mass or with the mass said in Latin. The hymn selection is smaller than most hymnals, but the selections are very good. Also includes benediction at the end. This should be a "default" hymnal for most American Catholic parishes.
