Vatican, U.S.A.

The book is in good condition with some wear on the cover typical of vintage paperbacks. The spine and binding remain intact, and there are no inscriptions or library markings. The pages show slight age-toning but are otherwise clean and legible. No dust jacket is present as it is a paperback edition.

"Vatican, U.S.A." by Nino Lo Bello is a detailed exploration of the financial dealings of the Catholic Church in America, published by Pocket Books in November 1973. This paperback edition offers an unfiltered look into the economic influence wielded by the Church as America's largest private property owner. Lo Bello, known for his investigative insights into the Vatican, provides a comprehensive report that remains relevant for those interested in religious and financial intersections. This particular edition is a reprint of the original 1972 release by Trident Press, retaining every word of the higher-priced edition. The book is scarce in this edition, making it a valuable find for collectors of religious and financial literature. The condition is good, with minor wear typical of vintage paperbacks, and it features the original cover art emblematic of the era.
