Limited Edition. A new copy, still sealed as received directly from The Folio Society. A major work of post-apocalyptic science fiction, Walter M. Miller Jr's best-selling 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' receives its first fully illustrated edition courtesy of Folio Society, introduced by Pulitzer Prize-winning critic, Michael Dirda, and with evocative, medieval artwork by Elliot Lang. This stunning edition is quarter-bound in blocked leather, with cloth sides printed and blocked with a design by Elliot Lang. The book measures 9'' x 6 ¼'' and features gilded page edges and a ribbon marker. It is housed in a metallic gold cloth slipcase printed in black with an original design by Elliot Lang. This stunning, sold out, edition is limited to only 500 copies, with a limitation label printed in black and gold ink and signed by Michael Dirda and Elliot Lang. Explore a world of feudal futurism in this post-nuclear masterwork featuring a frontispiece and 11 full-page colour illustrations, including two double-page spreads, by premier fantasy artist, Elliot Lang. Along with medieval-style historiated chapter initials, scrollworked part-titles, ingenious endpaper design, an illustrated cover and slipcase, Lang also contributes an exclusive afterword that tells the uncanny story of his own personal connection to this timeless work of spiritual wonder and post-apocalyptic terror. This vital chapter in the canon of 20th century science fiction takes place in a scorched earth in which an order of monks is dedicated to recovering the remnants of scientific knowledge lost to nuclear war, and is evocative, complex and gently funny. 'A Canticle for Leibowitz'' is strictly limited to 500 hand-numbered copies which are sold out at The Folio Society. Additional photos available on request or these may be viewed on my eBay listing.
