A manual of any sort is not going to be scintillating reading; that's not the grounds on which you judge. You have to judge it according to its purpose: and the purpose of a liturgical manual is to give instructions on the proper celebration of liturgy. Msgr. Elliott's book does this and does it thoroughly, indicating what is to be done, where there are options (in some cases, where there are not options), and pointing out along the way points where things differ from the pre-conciliar rite, or where it is necessary to turn to it to fill in a lacuna.

To someone not interested in the mechanics of liturgy, this book will offer nothing to entertain, but it is a resource that should be available to anyone who DOES have a part in it.

Un gran manual práctico sobre la liturgia latina. Pongo solo tres estrellas porque me hubiera gustado entender mejor el porqué de las acciones y el origen de ellas. También podría haber incluido dibujos o fotografías que hubieran ayudado a entender mejor de una manera gráfica.
Por último me hubiera encantado un estudio comparativo con otros ritos De la Iglesia Católica.

Ever useful when planning a big liturgical event. An update to the new GIRM and Missal would be very welcome.

Very clear and precise. Will answer any Roman Catholic liturgical question someone might have.
