Square Gold Marble Zemiros Shabbos Booklet #287

Gold marble across the whole cover, square at 4.5 by 4.5 inches, 96 pages. The marbling here runs warm rather than grey, so it carries gold-toned leichter and a wood table considerably better than the silver-and-white squares in the same format do.

Ashkenaz or Eduth Mizrach, selected when you order. The 96-page count puts this among the fuller square booklets, with the zemiros printed complete and the surrounding brachos included, so one booklet at each place covers the entire seudah from kiddush onward.

Square booklets behave differently on a set table than tall ones do. They take up less room in front of a plate, they do not tip over when they are stood on edge, and they stack evenly when somebody collects them at the end of the meal. Ordering a dozen of these for a family table is an ordinary thing to do, and the gold marble is forgiving about whatever else is already on the cloth.
