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.
I gave five stars because the order processing, packaging, and shipping was excellent. However, I would not recommend the book as the printing was horrible. The font style, size, color, and spacing were so poorly done that it made it difficult to read.
