A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ by Walter M. Miller Jr - 1960

Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1960. 3rd Printing. Hardcover. Very good. The third printing of the book issued in a second printing dustjacket as normally found. Light foxing to endpapers and rear panel of dustjacket. The jacket is edgeworn with several short closed tears but is otherwise whole and complete with no chips. Former owner's name on inside front cover else clean and unmarked. A hardcover book in very good condition with a jacket in good condition.uy. A classic saga, telling the 1800-year story of a Catholic monastery founded after a nuclear war in the late 20th century. Acclaimed mainly as a science fiction classic, the work has strong Catholic undertones and is just as much Catholic Literature as it is Scinece Fiction. The work may be justifiably described best as the first Catholic Science Fiction novel.
