One of the nice things about this inexpensive tome, I've discovered, is that
it prints the Gallican and Hebraica versions of the psalter on facing pages.
Very handy, and something of which I've long felt the need.
In the UK we have the psychological advantage of rather expensive petrol [ =
gas]. This means that if a book strikes as at all pricey, we can tell
ourselves, "After all, it's only two tankfuls of petrol." I expect you
could get about twenty tanks of gas for the same price in the US.
