I had the chance to look at this edition for the first time recently. It's exactly the same as the Benedictine office except in King James-type English. For someone who wants to do the office only in English, it would be a great option. Still, I think it's best to work toward praying it in Latin, though that can take some time.
Thank you both for these fine recommendations! Arvo Pärt’s “Spiegel im Spiegel” is the most moving piece I have ever heard. It always imparts to me a sense of longing and transcendence. It is otherworldly.
How would you rate this version of the Diurnal compared with the 1962 version?

It's only in English. It's an High Church Anglican publisher...so while it looks like a nice printing, I'd go with the other one.
