Ηλίας Καραγιάννης

I remember that the old type of book was small, so holding it during operation was

Sophia Turner

Good to hear they made it larger than the old small size Ηλίας mentioned—my hands get cramped holding that tiny booklet during the liturgy.

Daniel Davis

Yeah, that pocket-sized one was a proper nuisance if you wanted to follow along properly. The new bigger format should make it much easier on the hands and eyes. Has anyone tried the updated edition yet?

Daniel Davis

Yeah, those tiny ones were murder on the wrists after half an hour. The new size sounds like a proper improvement. Do you usually follow in the booklet or just listen?

Ευάγγελος Αναγνώστου

Yes, the old one was indeed very small and easily slipped from the hands when you tried to turn the page. This new one looks more stable and with larger letters, which will especially help those who read in the dim light of the church. Do you already have it in your hands?

Matthew Young

Yeah, the old pocket version was tough to read in low light at our parish. The bigger one should help a lot during the longer parts. Have you seen if they kept the same parallel French-Slavonic layout?

Πέτρος Δημητρίου

Yes, I agree, the old one was slippery like soap. I got the new one yesterday from the parish bookshop and indeed the letters are more comfortable in semi-darkness. When do you plan to pick him up?

Nicholas Lewis

The bigger size is a real improvement, especially when you're trying to juggle a candle and turn pages at the same time. I picked up a copy last week after liturgy and the print is noticeably clearer. Did they add any new explanatory notes this time?

Αντώνης Παπαγεωργίου

Yes, the old one did slip and the letters were lost in the dark. I also got the new one yesterday after the service and the bold letters help a lot. Will you try him at the next parish service?
