The Saint Andrew Bible Missal from Belgium came out in 1963, right prior to the Second Vatican Council. They probably didn't recover their costs as the Novus Ordo Mass in English quickly succeeded it. A 2008 review of older missals in print gave a rave review to the 1954 version of the St. Andrew Missal. The review was found in a blog from Singapore linked to by Father Z.

Are you hinting for Christmas presents already?
Well, that was going to be tomorrow's post, but as long as you mention it, I'm a size 40 short, my favorite color is "burnt umber", I prefer really old scotches and Chateau Neuf de Pape Rhone wines from 1996 or 1998 and Montecristo No. 4 Cuban Havana cigars.
But inasmuch as a guy like yourself probably has an urgent need to get into the confessional box, I'll jump ahead to Ordinary Time to do my bit to save your immortal soul.
I was going to go to confession last night.
You can probably get over to OLL where they have Confession on Sunday nights before the 7:15 Mass.
If you need the Ordinary Time Examin, I could post it now and you could still be there on time.
