Looking for the Latin liturgical books of the modern Roman Rite?

In the past month or so, I've had a couple of requests come in from people asking questions like, "Where do I find the Latin edition of the Modern Roman Missal?" and "Where can I get a copy of the Latin edition of the Liturgy of the Hours?"

Previously I had pointed them to the Vatican publisher, Libreria Editrice Vaticana. However, just recently I ran into this site: Paxbook.com

Here you can find both the Latin editions of the modern Divine Office and Roman Missal, as well as many other books, including the latest (Latin) edition of the Roman Martyrology. The handy thing about this site is that it is in English and looks like it is quite easy to order from -- just like you might off Amazon. The prices are also available in US Dollars (as well as the Euro).

If you want modern Latin books of the Church, this is the place to go.
