In order to make out-of-print books available once again, The Catholic University of America Press is utilizing digital technology to prepare paperback reprints of selected volumes. Many of the volumes in the Fathers of the Church series have been reprinted in this manner. If a volume is available in paperback, it will be so noted in the main entry for the volume, which can be accessed by author/title in the main catalog section of this site. Because these volumes are printed in small quantities, list prices that are usually associated with paperbound books printed by conventional means are not possible.
The Press invites customers to suggest other titles in the series for reprinting. Email us at cua-press@cua.edu or write to us at:
