Walter M. Miller Jr's 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' is a post-apocalyptic masterpiece of science fiction. Featuring Elliot Lang's evocative, medieval artwork and an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Dirda, this beautifully produced Folio edition brings new depth to one of the genre's most enduring classics.

A deep, visionary depiction of the future, 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' is shaped by the author's own WWII guilt and spans almost two millennia of human history. From the aesthetics of the Middle Ages to Church-sponsored space rockets, Elliot Lang's incredible artwork brings completeness to a previously unillustrated novel with 12 full-colour illustrations, including 2 double-page spreads; 3 part-title illustrations and thirty illuminated drop-caps. 

The book is beautifully bound in screen-printed and blocked cloth, and printed in black and gold ink on Abbey Pure paper. 384 pages. 9'' x 6¼''. Enclosed in a printed slipcase. Printed and bound in Germany.

ORDERS professionally packed, tracked and insured.
