Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Special Edition. Uncorrected Advance Proof Copy; Near Fine in wraps. SIGNED by the author on the half title page (the book has no title page as issued). A unique collectible for the Rushdie fan; the uncorrected proof is scarce in the marketplace, particularly signed. Near Fine with some mild rubbing and creasing to the edges and light soiling to the exterior text block. Not remaindered, not ex-library; in an archival bag and will ship in a sturdy box. "One of the most controversial and acclaimed novels ever written, The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie s best-known and most galvanizing book. Set in a modern world filled with both mayhem and miracles, the story begins with a bang: the terrorist bombing of a London-bound jet in midflight. Two Indian actors of opposing sensibilities fall to earth, transformed into living symbols of what is angelic and evil. This is just the initial act in a magnificent odyssey that seamlessly merges the actual with the imagined. A book whose importance is eclipsed only by its quality, The Satanic Verses is a key work of our times.". Signed by Author(s).

Softcover. Condition: Wie neu. Dust Jacket Condition: Neu. 1. Auflage. London: Viking, 1988. Pages browning, else a fine copy of the Uncorrected Advance Proof in a fine proof dustwrapper. Signed and titled by Rushdie on the title page. Though there seem to be no textual differences to the first trade edition, the proof of The Satanic Verses has some unique features. For instance, there are no ornamental devices separating the sub-chapters, and the "Acknowledgements" page (549) is missing completely. Also, the beginning of the "Ayesha" chapter provides for numerical sub-divisions, which is unnecessary as there are none. This copy had no title on the tile page, so Rushdie kindly supplied it in his own writing. We have never seen any copies with the printed title of the book on the title page. The proof dustwrapper varies from the one of the first UK edition in that it is matt (though we have also had one glossy one), uses a different and bolder typeface for the lettering of the author's name and the title, has a box at the bottom of the inner flap and mentions both the UK and the US publishers at the bottom of the lower flap. This item is part of our Catalogue 4: The Rushdie Collection, which you can download at ygrbooks.ch. Signatur des Verfassers.

Condition: the signed first trade edition is in fine, unread condition and the near fine dust jacket a beautiful specimen without any of the usual fading to the spine, and which is NOT price clipped. Rare in this condition. The uncorrected proof is at least very good with unbroken spine, light creases to the wraps and one stain to the page block as shown. Rushdie won the Booker Prize in 1981 for Midnight s Children . In 1988 The Satanic Verses was shortlisted for the prize. A landmark novel that led to the infamous fatwa forcing Rushdie into years-long hiding, culminating in the 2022 assassination attempt. The Satanic Verses is now a book standing up for free speech and embodiment of the famous pen that is mightier than the sword. Salman Rushdie is a hot candidate for the Nobel Prize. First and Fine.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Neu. Ohne Schutzumschlag. 1. Auflage. First Edition, First Printing. No. IX of XII copies signed and numbered by Rushdie, published simultaneously with the first trade edition, printed on vellum antique laid and fully bound in goatskin. Unlike the edition limited to 100 copies, this one is bound in full leather and comes with a ribbon marker. A fine copy in a fine custom-made folding case. ISBN 0-670-827150. On page 239 of Joseph Anton, Rushdie describes how he himself had to pay bookseller Rick Gekoski £2200 for copy XI back in the days, since his own copy - No. I - had disappeared with his then wife and dedicatee Marianne (Wiggins). This item is extremely rare and really sought after: For those of you interested in copies of this edition, here is what we know: Copy I was presented to the dedicatee and then wife of Salman Rushdie when the book was published. Its whereabouts are unknown. Copy II - dedicated to the producer and publisher of this edition was sold to an Indian collector. Copy III was sold to us but lost on the way. Copies IV and V were both bought by us and sold on. Rushdie himself bought copy XI for 2'200 to even have one. You might consider yourself very luck to get one of these for a reasonable price.
