Crafted in rich, supple leather with a zipper closure, these durable and luxurious cases are worthy of holding and protecting the official prayer of the Church, the 4-volume Liturgy of the Hours. Designed for the regular print edition.
I have purchased 3 sets of these covers, One for myself and two for gifts. They are excellent.
Product received was better than advertised. Each cover was individually wrapped...a pleasant surprise!
At a reasonable price, the breviary cases are well constructed. However, after applying the cases and opening the my breviary, the zipper travel goes up the back of the spine on both the top and bottom sections of the breviary itself. The zipper has to be pushed up under the spine of the breviary in order to open it enough for use, which puts enough pressure on the leather breviary spine cover to dig in and leave a deep indent after only a couple of uses. Eventually this will cause the leather cover of the breviary itself on the bottom spine section to fail and tear due to wear from the zipper by opening and closing the case. The zipper should have been brought directly to the spine at 90 degress so as not to be under the breviary spine when opened or the cover made slightly larger so that the case can be completely opened without the zipper having to travel up and behind the breviary spine.
I have decided not to use the covers as in my opinion, their use is more harm than help to the wear of my breviary set. Cons: Too tight fitting; Pros: Good construction
