Peter Toon's piece on Why is The 1662 Book of Common Prayer so popular all of a sudden (especially relative to its American 1928 counterpart) agrees with the statistics we get on this site. Positive Infinity offers both the 1662 and 1928 books for free download. The inclusion of the 1662 book in 2004 (in …
