About this Item
Description:
Bound in black coth over black boards, stamped in gold. A stunning copy of the true first/first state of the U.S. edition of this controversial book which has plagued the author ever since its publication and added to his popularity and following (among most readers). . Certainly a book that has had far more publicity than most. Only flaw is a crease to the front flap of the dust jacket. The book has a signed bookplate neatly affixed to the half title page. 547 pp. Seller Inventory # 8001110

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover with DJ. Black cloth spine, black paper over boards. Distinctive red-bordered DJ with gold lettering. Binding good and tight. On the back cover, the black cloth of the spine is faded a half tone lighter than the top half. On the DJ, there is a very slight tan tone visible on part of the white barcode. The inside of the DJ has evidence of a splash of liquid at the bottom of the spine, too -- our best guess is that the book got a slosh of tea on its corner after the DJ and mylar cover were already in place -- there is no damage visible unless you go searching around for it beneath and behind the DJ. A couple speckles on the top foreedge. No date on the title page. Copyright page dated 1989. Stated first American edition, with full number line 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2. Signed on the title page by Salman Rushdie in black marker. Just his name; no date or inscription. 546 pages. Photos show this actual copy. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # XXV-66

Condition: As new. No jacket. First paperback edition. First paperback edition. 8vo. Pp. [xii], 3-546, [4]. Red, black and gold printed wrappers. 1/100,000 copies, followed soon after by another printing of 200,000 copies. The paperback edition of the book published on March 25, 1992 by a company called The Consortium, Inc. This was a publishing company, comprising some sixty entities, and incorporated in the state of Delaware for the express purpose of bringing out a softcover issue of The Satanic Verses. Originally published by Viking in London on September 26, 1988, with the first U.S. edition by the same publisher following on February 22, 1989. Signed by the Author to half title. Author's fourth novel. Winner of the 1988 Whitbread Prize for Fiction. Shortlisted for the 1988 Booker Prize (losing out to Peter Carey's Oscar and Lucinda). Gibreel Farishta, India's legendary movie star, and Saladin Chamcha, the man of a thousand voices, fall earthward from a bombed jet toward the sea, singing rival verses in an eternal wrestling match between good and evil. A whimsical and fantastic tale, as viewed through the prism of a magical realist lens. Its publication ignited an on-going debate on the dividing lines between freedom of expression, censorship, and religious tolerance. The book's reference to several verses that Satan allegedly tricked Muhammad into including in the Qur'an, and which were later expunged, as claimed by the controversial Arabian historian Ibn Ishaq, were the main source for the fatwa (religious edict) conferred upon Rushdie by Iran's spiritual leader, the Ayatollah Khomeini. It was officially lifted by his successors in September 1998 and the state-sanctioned reward nullified. Despite all this, Rushdie was repeatedly stabbed at the Chautauqua Institution in New York state on 12 August 1922, as he was about to deliver a lecture. He ruefully reflects on this attack which caused him to lose sight in his right eye, as well as the use of his left hand, in his 2024 memoir, Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder. "Exhilarating, populous, loquacious, sometimes hilarious, extraordinary. a roller-coaster ride over a vast landscape of the imagination." -The Guardian. signed. Seller Inventory # K49 743
