RUSHDIE, Salman. The Satanic Verses
RUSHDIE, Salman. The Satanic Verses. London: Viking. 1988. 8vo. First edition, first printing. Publisher’s blue cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket. An excellent example, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square, the textblock bottom edge with a couple of tiny stains. The contents clean and fine throughout. The dust jacket unclipped (£12.95 net) and complete, gently bumped along the corners and tips, the spine just slightly faded as is always the case.
A very pleasing copy of the author’s fourth published novel, Booker Prize shortlisted and certainly his most contentious after the fatwa calling for his death on publication, upon which numerous assassination attempts have been made on his life, the most recent in 2022.
