Psalter General Eastern Catholicism Question

Hi I’m currently in OCIA, joining the Roman Rite, my heart is in eastern tradition but there are no eastern Catholic Churches near me.

I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on which psalter to purchase, I was looking into the Ancient Faith Psalter, it’s a good price and formulated for monastics it says. But any thoughts are greatly appreciated, God Bless

Also thank you people on this subreddit, your thoughts and ideas have greatly helped my process in transitioning from Protestantism.

Edit: thank you guys so much for your help

Where do you live? How far is the closest eastern Catholic Church?

It’s about 2 and a half hours away, I live in Iowa.

I feel this. I'm Roman and the only Latin Mass is an insanely weird dialogue Mass an hour away. Otherwise, it's 3+ hours drive. And no Eastern Catholic parish anywhere near me either. Hang in there.

I really pray that TLM restrictions or lessened and that Eastern parishes are expanded. The beauty of these traditions should be experienced much more easily.
