I have a problem...

...I am somewhat of a Bibliophile. Yet, I am not wealthy enough TO OBTAIN most books I want... so I just continutally check ebay hoping that someone's Catholic estate decides to list their entire library at $1 per book.

Here is my current obsession:

Daily Missal - Missale Romanum - 1962 Edition

I know it is just a Missal. Yet... it is just a wonderful resource, plus it has latin. I am really trying to re-learn latin. (I never really KNEW latin, but I did take it for a few years in middle school). Sad is me though, because it is quite difficult convincing your wife that although you just had your first child, and live in a land where the cost of living makes hawaii look cheap, even a mere $50 is too much to spend on a Missal. [Especially since we don't have the usus antiquior in our area right now.] But Catholic Books are so appealing to my obsession.

My current Missal is a 1952 St. Andrew Daily Missal which "does the job" when we get to a Tridentine Latin Mass, but it just doesn't have the PIZAZZ that this one does.
