GOSPEL BOOKS FOR USE IN PROCESSION

As several members of our servers team are young in years, we are looking to purchase a Gospel Book to be used in procession which will not be too heavy for them to handle.

I would be grateful for suggestions used in parishes.

In reply.......What Lectionary does the church concerned follow? However,, in my experience all Gospel Books are heavy.
I do not know a church where the Gospel Book is carried by a server. It is carried into the church by the Celebrant or the (Liturgical) Deacon who reads the Gospel and carries the Gospel Book from the altar to the lectern where it remains after the Gospel has been read..

The modern trend in some churches is Laptops which can be adapted for all
