Helloe;
I am an Orthodox Anglican Priest and a US Army Chaplain and am actively seeking a 1928 Altar Missal (1928 Book of Common Prayer) in order that I might conduct the Traditional Services of the orthodox Anglican faith. Please help, as I seem to have exhausted all attempts to find even a good used one.

Fr. Allison, are you searching for the 1928 BCP altar book or the altar book for the Anglican Missal?
If 1928 BCP altar book, the US PBS has them (see link above) for sale in a new reprint version.
If the Anglican Missal, contact the APA (www.anglicanbooks.com). They are currently working on another reprint, but no word when it will be ready. They may be able to point you to someone who has an old copy. (Also try asking the PBS if they know of an old copy.)
