Yes, my husband has the St. Andrew's missal and he prefers it over all the others. It defines and explains why we do what we do, the movements of the mass and it is so interesting. There are actions we has catholic have lost and have no idea what we have lost. This is more expensive. But well worth it. I have found missals over the years at estate sales, thrift stores but in the past 8 years they are harder to find. Good Luck
