A first edition, first printing of The Ground Beneath Her Feet by Salman Rushdie, published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1999. A near fine copy, signed and dated 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 reimagining of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth set against the backdrop of late twentieth-century global culture, blending music, mythology, and alternate histories. Written during a pivotal period in Rushdie’s career, it is widely regarded as one of his most ambitious later works and forms part of the core run of signed modern Rushdie first editions.

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. …
