Liturgy Training Publications is distributing The Roman Missal, Regal Edition published by Midwest Theological Forum.

The Regal Edition has been designed to ensure that every element is durable and practical - yet dignified, beautiful, and suitable for divine worship. The instruction concerning an alter missal from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments states it "should be marked by such a dignity that the exterior appearance of the book itself will lead the faithful to a greater reverance for the word of God and for sacred realities" (Liturgiam Authenticam, 120).

For this reason the quality of paper and binding as well as the visual impact of vibrant, full-color illustrations; musical notations; and fonts for texts have been essential considerations in producing a dignified altar missal.

All components of the altar missal have been crafted with the highest quality of materials, to ensure ease of use and resilience over many years.

Features include:

• Cover: Genuine leather, bearing the gold-stamped image of Christ Pantocrator;
• Smyth-sewn binding and robust, embossed endsheets;
• Full-color illustrations from the Church's treasury of fine art;
• Gilded edges will be struck with red and gold;
• Prayers printed in black with red rubrics, on august cream paper;
• 24 tabs of genuine leather; firmly attached to the page;
• Gold-stamped Florentine edges on the inside of the cover;
• Six ornate custom-made ribbons, with a slug to prevent damage to pages;
• Pages: 60 gsm paper to maintain manageable weight, yet sufficiently opaque; 100 gsm for sections with frequent use;
• Main text is 16 pt. and the antiphons text is 13 pt. 
• Protective, red, cloth-wrapped box for protection
