Burgundy Book Contest
December 16th, 2008
I have seen, in several places, photos of the "burgundy books" that Concordia Publishing House has been publishing in recent years. This is an open call for you to submit your best photo of your collection of "burgundy books." Post a link to your "burgundy book" photo as a comment and I'll move it up into the main post. I will feature the winner of the contest on this blog site and great and wonderful prizes will be awarded to the winner.***
Let's get this party started.
*** Consisting of a word of thanks and a virtual hearty-hand clasp.

Okay… two questions:
Do they have to be OUR books?
What are the three books on the left… and the third book from the right?
Rock and roll. I have one he doesn’t: the accompaniment for the Liturgy.
Props for having the accompaniment to the hymns up there.
When my bride to be and I were choosing colors for our upcoming wedding burgundy was a finalist. In discussing shades I said wanted the shade of burgundy that CPH puts out. We now call our shade “Concordia Red”
Look for it at finer paint stores today!
These are my books and do not belong to anyone else.

Hmm, let’s think. LSB (pew edition), Lutheran Book of Prayer, Small Catechism. A copy of the personal/gift edition of the LSB is currently sat under the Christmas tree at church, as this year’s “organist’s present” to me.
Am intimately familiar with the two accompaniment books, but don’t have my own copies.
Bring out a pocket edition of the TDP (minus the Bible readings, say – have my own Bible!) and you might have a deal on that one, too…
I can’t answer for the middle one on the left but the first one is the Grammatical Analysis of the Greek New Testament and the third one is Doberstein’s Minister’s Prayer Book. On the right the book in question is A Reader’s Greek New Testament. None of them are CPH books. I will have to ask Rick what that other one in question is.
Pastor McCain, I have two blog posts with pictures of “Concordia, the Lutheran Confessions” and “Treasury of Daily Prayer.”

Thanks for the great books. Rick T.
I forgot one. If you remove the dust cover from Daniel Preus’ Why I am a Lutheran, the book itself if burgundy.
Here’s my “burgundy” desk.
