The new Customary of Our Lady of Walsingham has been published, and a fine book it looks, too. It contains the office for the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, the psalms in the Coverdale translation, and the office arranged according to the calendar for the Ordinariate.
I'm rather hoping to have choral evensong at Blackfen during the Octave of Prayer for Christian Unity.
There are more photos of the new book at the Ordinariate's Flickr set and there is a report by Mgr Andrew Burnham at the Ordinariate website.
You can buy a copy from Amazon:

It takes us English speaking Roman Rite Catholics ten years to get a passable translation of the Missal editio typica tertia, and still no sightings of a post "Liturgam Authenticam" breviary...and OLW spits out a Customary in a matter of months? I knew we were being duped by "brighter minds." Hmmm... I want a new breviary in one year...this is ridiculous! 8^)
Can any catholic lay person use this.
Just looking at the text in the photo suggests that the translation is rather better than anything I've seen printed since Piux XII was Pope
Father Tim!!!
I do not have your e-mail address so, here I am with great news of a Saint and a Cardinal from the Filipino community...in less than a month!!!
God bless

Gungarius - lay people are not bound to the office so are perfectly entitled to use devotional prayers of their own. Since this is approved by the universal Church, it would benefit people as an approved sacramental.
Lovely news for current and future Ordinariate priests! Can a celibate layman who was baptized Roman Catholic apply to seminary to become an Ordinariate priest?
No, I'm afraid not, James. the Ordinariate is for people coming from Anglicanism. Though I am sure there are plenty like yourself who would want to.
Let us pray that the Ordinariate brings many benefits to the Church by an additional "gravitational pull."
