Mahogany Look Zemiros Shabbos Booklet with Gold Border #179

A mahogany-look ground with a gold accent border: a dark, wood-toned cover on a 32-page paperback booklet measuring 4.25 by 6.25 inches. Thirty-two pages makes it the slimmest booklet in this group, and that is deliberate. It holds the zemiros and what immediately surrounds them rather than trying to be a full bencher, so it stays thin in the hand.

Ashkenaz or Eduth Mizrach, selected when you order. The contents run from hadlakas neiros through to the zemiros for motzei Shabbos, so a single booklet carries a guest across the whole of Shabbos without anyone having to swap it for something else at bentching.

The dark cover is the reason to take this one over the pale marbles. On a table set in dark wood, or at a men's gathering, a melave malka, a sheva brachos held in a hall, mahogany and gold hold their own where white and silver look washed out. These are meant to be bought in quantity and handed out, not kept one at a time.
