Web Latinity Coolness
The Society of St John Cantius, one of those groups offering the Mass according to the 1962 edition of the Missal, has a redesigned home page.
The cleverest new feature is a prominently displayed button linking to their Amazon.com wishlist! That's a smart way for a new group to build up a library of both reference and teaching copies of important books; this way they'll get the things they think they need, not just random donations. Very sharp! Lots of organizations could stand to imitate this.
Beside the button:
Help us build our Latin Library and Music Library
{Button} Improve our parish music library and donate music for your favorite Mass, from Mozart to Palestrina. Donate through Amazon.com to help the Canons Regular build a top notch Latin Library.
Some of their choices strike me as a little strange (this one, a Medieval Latin-English manuscript dictionary, seems particularly perverse for anyone not studying 15th Century England - but maybe that's what's going on?), but I'm not teaching their novices or their Religious Ed, so who am I to complain? Click and give 'em something, if it floats your boat!

Further:
Ah - I didn't realize they were down to 28 desired items out of 141. Many of the most reasonable items have already been bought for them! Sorry.
