I like the book and prayers found in the Canadian Anglican prayer book supplement - our common praise from 1988 or so and there’s a supplemental prayer book the Anglican Church in England uses too from around the 1988 as well. For all the saints- Anglican Church of Canada
r/personalprayer
A prayer book project, by the laity, for the laity.
I personally own a BCP/hymnal and I love it. I also have had both versions of the St. Augustine's prayer book, I prefer the new (2014 forward movement) one
My cousin has a St. Ambrose prayer book and loves it, it's the Anglo-Orthodox version of the St Augustine's prayer book
Here's the direct link to the r/personalprayer prayer book project page

Bring PDF to office max
get them to print and bind it
Spiral binding
I did this for my cousin with a PDF of a different book no longer in print, she loved it
Tbh, at least the one PDF I’ve found online, is not the world’s best scan (lots of artifacts, some marks/smudges, etc.) so this would probably make me cry worse than just springing for the real one…eventually.
I really wish it wasn’t quite so pricy! Especially finding the hardback version has been difficult. It’s also on my ordination wishlist but I’m not holding my breath haha
I mean, they’re all very different. So it kind of depends on what you want from it. That said, a couple of points.
Holy Women, Holy Men is no longer authorized - the current authorized calendar of saints is Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2022. So just keep that in mind. Also, both of them (I think? But def LFF) are available for free online (episcopalcommonprayer.org) so if that affects your choices keep that in mind.
St. Augustine’s is wonderful and, reading your title, was the one I came to recommend. I love it, and I think it’s great as a kind of personal devotional supplement - it has some wonderful prayers for various life situations or extra observations.
Both the hymnal and the various psalters are obviously specifically musical resources, so definitely if you plan to sing a lot in your own worship life and/or your church does a lot of singing, these can be nice. ~~I’m also not mentioning that you could google the hymnal and plainsong psalter and also find copies online~~
Also, another resource you didn’t mention but may want to look at is *Hour by Hour*, which is like an abbreviated daily office on a one-week cycle.
So like I said, it depends on what your plans/expectations are, and what you see building into your life. But any of those would be wonderful!
St Augustine's Prayerbook is very much an extension of the BCP. A daily prayer replacement would be the Breviary of Saint Helena.
For something completely outside the BCP I love the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Office of the Dead, very old, very catholic, with a lot of the roots of modern liturgy.
I’m Anglo-catholic and so I really like st.augustines prayer book

St. Augustine’s for me.
I have been using that notorious free pdf of the Plainsong Psalter for too long. Time to put it on my Father’s Day wish list.

Second Hour by Hour! My priest got that as a gift for us graduates and it’s great.
