This is no longer the case. Once the Pope made accomodations for the traditionalists and gave them special dispensation to sing the Tridentine Mass (and recommended that every bishop make arrangements to accommodate these folks), all of this has come out from under the table, and the Liber Usualis is now currently in print, again: http://www.libers.com/liber.htm It's $107, but that's less than what good old copies of it were going for before the black market ended. I haven't seen one, though. I can't imagine that they are as nice as the ones from the 1910s that we used to use at St. Philomena in Cleveland. -- David W.
