I'm looking for a scriptural rosary book, but there are so many out there. It's hard for me to get to the local Catholic bookstore so I'm trying to order one online. Does anyone use one they love?

We are really enjoying this book. It's a huge book and it's just the joyful mysteries with scripture for each Hail Mary. The pictures are gorgeous. We're doing a decade a day and repeating each week and praying that the sorrowful, glorious, and luminous mysteries are soon to follow  .

The Rosary books I use are very inexpensive. They are "Through the Rosary with Fra Angelico" for the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries, and then, more recently developed, "Through the Mysteries of Light with Giotto and Fra Angelico." Each Mystery is illustrated by a painting of the events the Mystery celebrates (obviously, a painting by one of those painters). I find this helpful in focusing my meditation. Also, after the Mystery is announced, there is a brief description of that Mystery, followed by the Biblical Citation of the events (not just the information to locate the Citation, but the Scripture passage). Within each Hail Mary, following the words, "blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus ..." is a further comment about Jesus, before going on to complete the Hail Mary. Example: In the Second Joyful Mystery, first Hail Mary, "Hail Mary, ..., and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, who dwelt for nine months in your womb. Holy Mary,...." Again, for me, this helps keep my focus on the Mystery.
I have seen these books at many Catholic book stores. The website printed on them is www.albahouse.org.
They cost less than $4 each.
Peace,
Nancy

Those pictoral rosary books look lovely, Elizabeth and Mary Ann. When I read this request I thought of a different type of book, one I'm reading now and really enjoying - The New Rosary in Scripture by Edward (Ted) Sri. It has a really nice actual scriptural rosary in it, but mostly it is a book written to explain more indepth the scriptual context and historic background that are the basis for each mystery of the rosary.
In general it is a great explaination and apolgetics book on the rosary as reflective of scripture. Sri is an engaging writer and offers great insight.

I like this one put out by Christianica: http://www.amazon.com/Scriptur al-Rosary-English-Christianica/dp/0911346163/sr=1-1/qid=1158 270507/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-0619659-2884117?ie=UTF8&s=books
I don't know if this is one with the Luminous Mysteries. My copies are pre-luminous; but, the Luminous are available. (It might be a supplement; but, I am pretty sure it is part of the book.)
It is handheld size. The artwork in the (much) older ones is very nice. I don't know how they are in the ones that include the Luminous.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Elizabeth, I've seen the one you suggested and it is beautiful. I wish they had one for all the mysteries.

Here's another one I forgot to mention earlier. Rosary Album illustrated by Michael Buccino. It has older style black and white drawings for each bead (obviously does not include Luminous Mysteries). It's beautiful and great for kids because it does have a picture for each bead.
