This beautiful purse- or pocket-sized My Pocket Rosary features a flexible, illustrated cover and reverent, full-color illustrations. My Pocket Rosary, by Rev. J. M. Lelen, Ph.D., is a handy companion for the popular devotion to Our Lady. My Pocket Rosary is perfectly suited for both those who already recite the Rosary and those who wish to learn more about this wonderful devotion. Available individually, the conveniently-sized 72-page booklets also may be purchased in sets of 80 with a free display box for parish and group use. Review: Oddly imperfect but still the best I have found - This is a well-sized little book that is packed with everything you need to pray the rosary. Although the biblical pictures aren't amazing, they are certainly good enough to function as a visual placeholder for praying without a set of rosary beads. The paper is a flexible laminate, so I expect these seventy-two pages to travel well. I would describe the content as very complete. It contains all of the standard prayers as well as several common but optional prayers. It includes brief reflections and prayers specific to all four mysteries (updated in 2002). Oddly, it erroneously edits (on page 8) the text of Mary's 1917 "Fatima promise" to include the 2002 additions. That is misleading and unnecessarily revisionistic. But the booklet has a nihil obstat and imprimatur!?! I agree with other reviewers who find the book's structure to be odd. I would have prefered the prayers to be grouped with the "how to" instructions at the beginning of the book, and for history and variant practices to be at the back. As it is, the book feels disordered. This would likely not bother someone who has prior experience praying the rosary but it could be difficult for a newcomer who expects simple, step-by-step instructions. Even so, I bought several copies, because this is the best little rosary booklet that I have found (and I have collected many over the decades, pun intended). Five stars for that. Review: The size is perfect for your pocket. - Thanks

Great little book! Would buy again!
Cute, helpful little pocket-sized book that sums up the rosary well, along with the Litany of Loreto. I'm just a little bit confused about the prayer about Russia, which could have been either indicated in the product description or left out of the book to make the book more universal.

handy tiny book
Ordered quite a few of these pocket Rosary Books, (UK, to Canada, took a few weeks) I gave them away to many appreciative friends and family, I would highly recommend them as great teaching tools for all those learning the Holy Rosary, or coming back into practicing it again ;o)
