Item description from seller

Belmont, California: Narthex Press, 1997. Volumes 2 and 3 (still sealed in the publisher's clear plastic shrinkwrap). BRAND NEW in PERFECT CONDITION. Flat spines. NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. NO rubbing. NO fading. Sharp corners. Bright, shiny, clean, square and tight. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked -- obviously never read. In the original Greek, with a new translation by Spencer T. Kezios, Protopresbyter. From the publisher: "Orthros for Feast Days, The Holy Office of Orthros when celebrated on a weekday in commemoration of a Saint or major feast day never changes. Year after year it remains the same. Thus [these two volumes, numbers 2 and 3 of the projected] six-volume series will be a permanent edition for yearly use. Therefore, [they are] being published in a hard cover edition, cloth bound, 8-1/2 by 11 inches with large, easy to read print in Greek with parallel English translations. It is in the same format as the more familiar, Orthros published semi-annually. From the publisher about Vol. 2: "All the Orthros services from April to June for the Weekday celebration of Feast Days. Contained are all of the dramatic changes in rubrics and hymnology mandated during the Easter to Pentecost liturgical cycle; full and complete for every year from now until the year 2025. This makes it unique because, though needed, it has never before been attempted. This represents, literally, thousands of hours of work researching and calculating all the necessary changes. There are included, for example, eight (8) different ways to celebrate Orthros for the Feast Day of Saints Constantine and Helen. Other services included are: Saturday of the Souls (for both Meat Fare and Pentecost); Lazarus Saturday; Ascension; and Mid-Pentecost. The other Saints' Days indicated by our Archdiocese for celebration are also included." The 2 volumes are uniformly bound in the original gilt-stamped maroon cloth. Oversize Hardcover. This heavy 2 volume set (nearly 6 pounds before packaging) will require SUBSTANTIAL extra postage for International shipments. But for priority and media mail, you pay only our standard charge for 1 volume and we ship the second volume at no extra cost. Unknown edition (still in shrinkwrap). Oversize Hardcover. New/No dust jackets, as issued. Volumes 2 and 3: 328pp. + 386pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
