I paid for the book - but it was not delivered - my post office said it had been sent back. Since then I have tried to get help in solving this and sent close to 10 mail without any help.
More than 100 Dollar spent on nothing - so sad for this as I really wanted the book.
Again - please help me solve this either by sending me the book again or refund the money I paid!

Truly a wealth of knowledge. Everything you need for the old rite, aside from personal prayers, is here. The liturgical cycle of the church can be observed through this book based on the old rite without issue. All that would need to supplement this would be a menaion and octoechos.
This is my new favorite Horologion. It used the Boston Psalter for the psalms, with some minor changes where the old Slavonic manuscripts differ. This Horologion contains the Troparion and Kontakion of the saints for every day of the year - which is really nice. Some of the more recently canonized saints aren't included, due to the older practice. The binding is, as we've come to expect from Nativity (Old Rite) very solid, the printing is high quality, and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes, in time, a standard text in English parishes following Slavic practice.
