Trinity Psalter Hymnal

[a.k.pritchard]

Guys,

I'm not sure if I've posted this in the correct section (I'm fairly new to the board), but I'm trying to purchase a leather bound copy of the OPC Trinity Psalter Hymnal... The only problem is I can't seem to find a supplier that ships to Northern Ireland.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

Arnold.

Have you tried Great Commission Publications?

Yeah, that's who I went to first. They only ship within the USA.

There is always eBay

That was my thought too! No leather bound though.

USPS got rid of retail overseas shipping 20 years ago. The minimum retail postage to UK from the USA is $49 for a padded envelope. If the item does not fit that it jumps to a medium box which is $92. These rates have steadily gone up over the last few years and killed the option for small publishers to take international orders direct. See if you can get some outfit like James Dickson books in Scotland to order it for you. They regularly accumulate books to ship over in sea container. That might get the cost down to something reasonable.

Good advice! Thanks.

They don't make a genuine leather bound edition, just faux leather, at least as recently as a few months ago

Is the faux leather retailing at $70?!

Yes

 

[a.k.pritchard]

Yes

Hmmm... Wouldn't be willing to pay $70 for faux leather. Thanks for the heads up.

These guys are still selling bonded leather. But don't do to UK.

@a.k.pritchard

It's not faux leather; it's bonded leather, as the ad you post notes.

I note this to make clear there's no deception here. Calfskin, goatskin, especially parchment, and other leather coverings, which is apparently what you had in mind, would be considerably more expensive than bonded leather.

Peace,
Alan

I didn't think otherwise! Thanks, brother.

Have you tried the Westminster Theological Seminary bookstore? I purchased a standard edition from there a few weeks ago. Sadly, I don't know about their international shipping.

Not supported, I'm afraid! But a good try! Thanks anyway.

Update: I think I've got sorted, guys! A very helpful brother has offered to help me acquire the book.

A very helpful brother has offered to help me acquire the book.

Given the current state of the UK, he might want to wrap it in a dust cover from another book to smuggle it through customs.

I know that the UK government over the past few years has brought in a lot of anti-biblical legislation, and continues to do so, but as far as I know, we are not at the stage yet of having to smuggle in Christian hymn-books. In this case, Trinity Psalter Hymnal is available on Amazon UK (though not leather-bound), so if it is freely available for sale here, there seems no reason for having to "wrap it in a dust cover from another book to smuggle it through customs."

My dear brother, it was a joke. Using hyperbole for humor takes something that is true (current anti-biblical stances), exaggerating the situation for relatability to create the effect of humor in a condition of shared connection and laughter in the midst of a scenario that is agreed to be not funny overall.

Oh, I must apologise for not realising that it was a joke. Sorry for being so slow on the uptake!

I'm ignorant of these anti-Biblical rules or laws? What are they? Or are you all referring to the ungodly laws being passed in the UK in general?

I am no expert but I think a law forbidding silent public prayer upon penalty of arrest is anti-biblical.

Do I sense a cattiness in this response? I was only asking what sense the term anti-Biblical was being used... But your reply did clear that up for me. Thanks.

Not at all. "I am no expert" meaning the only law I know of is just the one.

Yes, this applies specifically near to abortion clinics. That's bad enough, but silent prayer is not totally forbidden.

Are you saying that silent prayer is only forbidden near abortion clinics but allowed freely anywhere else? Or are you saying that the police who arrested that woman who was silently praying were not correctly applying the law as officially encoded? I am genuinely asking as I have no familiarity with this at all.

I have certainly only read in the Evangelical Times, which reports most such arrests of Christians, of those engaged in silent prayer outside abortion clinics being arrested.

A bit of both - but both are legally fragile see the latest

West Midlands Police paid Isabel Vaughan-Spruce £13,000 but did not admit liability.

Sometimes it can be difficult to see the line between my humor and my hobby (conspiracy theories).

But at least the UK has figured out how to define what a woman is - perhaps something you folks can share with my US countrymenpersons.

I'm coming across to NI this summer, DV - if something falls through I'd happily bring you a copy.
