Catechism of the Catholic Church: Second Edition52 reviews
U.S. Catholic Church

Doubleday, 2003

excellent quality edition for the price-large print for its size

+ Great book, packaging, but too tiny texts

This was a good product in an easy to carry size. I bought it for my son for school and several of his friends ordered one right away. It is sturdy hardback construction but not too big for his backpack.
