A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. (1988 Bantam Hardcover Edition)

Walter M. Miller Jr.’s landmark post-apocalyptic science-fiction novel, winner of the 1961 Hugo Award for Best Novel. Set centuries after a nuclear catastrophe, the novel follows a monastic order dedicated to preserving the remnants of human knowledge as civilization slowly rebuilds—and risks repeating its destruction.

This is the 1988 Bantam hardcover edition, following the original 1959 Lippincott hardcover and Bantam paperback editions. The copyright page specifically notes that this edition contains the complete text of the original hardcover edition.

Especially attractive copy with the dramatic wraparound illustrated dust jacket, red cloth binding, and gilt spine lettering. The jacket shows some light edge/corner wear, and there is a small stain to the upper page edge visible in the photos; otherwise the book presents very nicely.
