Item description from seller

A first edition, first printing of The Ground Beneath Her Feet by Salman Rushdie, published by Henry Holt and Company, New York in 1999. A near fine copy, signed by the author on the half-title page, free from internal inscriptions or marks, with clean, bright pages and a firm binding. In a near fine unclipped dust wrapper, showing only light handling wear, with colours strong and no tears or loss. The Ground Beneath Her Feet is Rushdie’s seventh novel, a bold reworking of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth set against the global music scene of the late twentieth century. Blending mythology, popular culture, and alternate histories, the novel is widely regarded as one of his most ambitious later works. This signed U.S. first edition forms part of the core run of signed modern Rushdie first editions, distinct from the U.K. Jonathan Cape issue.

Store description

I began selling books as a way to share my love and passion for collecting books with other people. I enjoy hunting for special editions, completing sets or building out a library of particular authors. The selling to me, is as enjoyable as the collecting itself. What started as a side project has since grown into a genuine passion for sourcing, researching, and sharing collectible books with fellow readers and collectors. I’m especially drawn to rare and interesting editions, first printings, and the satisfaction of completing author runs or series. Every book I list is handled with the same care and curiosity I’d want for my own shelves. I’m a strong believer in transparency. I photograph books from every angle so you know exactly what you’re getting — no surprises, no vague descriptions. I also take pride in careful packaging and presentation, because receiving a book should feel like part of the experience, not just a transaction. I’m always happy to chat about listings, bundles, shipping options, or anything else — and can almost always make something work. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or requests.
