Go CPH!
I have an older Tappert edition of the Book of Concord, but the language in it is much more difficult. The editors of this one have done a wonderful job making the language accessible. It's packed full of historical and background info that help the reader understand the context of the various documents. I can't say enough good about it. I you've ever wanted to learn more about what Lutherans believe and why they believe it, this is the book.
Bit of trivia: this edition was edited by Pastor Paul McCain of Concordia Publishing House, whose blog Cyberbrethren I frequently lurk at. You won't find me commenting there though...people who hang out there are waaay smarter than me. I'd be in over my head *grin*. However, I may just leave him a comment to express my appreciation for the tremendous job he and the other editors have done in putting this book together.
