The Server's Handbook by Percy Dearmer is a manual which instructs altar boys or Clerks on how to carry out their duties at Holy Communion and other Rites of the Anglican church. It includes an outline of the Prayerbook Liturgy with instructions and devotions spread throughout.

The Table of Contents includes the following: - Clerks and Servers - General Directions - Note on Divine Service - The Holy Communion - The Preparation - The Collects - The Epistle - The Gospel - The Creed - The Offertory - The Confession - The Absolution - The Preface and Sanctus - The Prayer of Access -The Prayer of Consecration - The Postcommunion - Holy Baptism - Holy Matrimony - The Churching of Women - Visitation of the Sick - Communion with the Reserved Sacrament - Other Services for the Sick - The Burial of the Dead
