James Blish's "Black Easter" is a quite a good novel, although it's more
occult fiction than SF.  For quite a while, it was very hard to find.
It was reprinted a couple of years ago, but the original paperback
edition is still rare.  Dallas-area fans, listen carefully.  The Fairmont
Hotel, where Usenix was held, has a little newsstand-cum-gift-shop.
Its book racks have an amazing mixture of recent books and ancient ones.
In particular, if you go straight to the back and then turn left, left,
and left again, you will find yourself looking at about a dozen copies
of the first paperback edition of Black Easter, in essentially mint
condition, selling for cover price (75c).  My own non-mint-condition copy
cost me $10 a few years back, although the price may have fallen some
since the reprint.

I offer this in case anyone's interested.  Followups (if any) by mail,
please, since I lack the time to read sf-lovers nowadays.
