Where can I find a copy of the Divine Office?
The short answer
The Daughters of St. Paul and Catholic Book Publishing both offer one-volume editions without the Office of Readings; Catholic Book Publishing's four-volume set has the complete Office. You can start by praying it online, or use Magnificat's simplified daily hours.
Print editions
The Daughters of St. Paul publish a one-volume edition with everything except the Office of Readings. Catholic Book Publishing also has a one-volume edition without the Office of Readings, and a four-volume edition containing the entire Divine Office.
Getting started
You might first become familiar with the Liturgy of the Hours by praying it online, for example at ebreviary.com.
Magnificat
The monthly Magnificat offers simple daily versions of Morning, Evening and Night Prayer, plus the Mass readings, brief saints' lives and a short spiritual reading.
