I am often looking for copies on ebay or amazon for our choir...

They are hard to come across as they are copyrighted, made and still in the domain of the SSPX...

$80 is usually a good price as most times they are about $100 or $150 and sometimes quite a bit more... There are two on amazon right now, but most other places do not even seem to sell them...

Wow. Another investment opportunity missed! Imagine if one had ordered a case or two of them when they were still available for $30 a copy new.

I know! Right?

I wish they could be found for that cheap...

There are a number of traditional Catholic hymnals. The St. Gregory and St. Pius X Hymnals are easier to find copies of for sale. Yet, the "Traditional Roman Hymnal" is a bit harder to come by. It is primarily Gregorian chant notation with a few hymns in normal notation on the side...
