Amazing...but white

This book is incredible, from the content, the fonts, the color codes, and everything included in the book. The binding is excellent as well as the extensive appendices. But it is white. The leather marks up easy and is really hard to clean to get accidental pen marks off of it, or to get dirt picked up from where ever off of the outside.

I LOVE this book

This book it great, as a catholic who knows nothing about the catechism of the Catholic Church this book has been perfect to use with catechism in a year. I didn’t have it for the first 15 days and it helps so much I’ll probably go back and do those days again with the book! The large print is so helpful for my old eyes!
