Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. In terms of production values, the British Edition is superior to the American in every respect, not the least being its more magical and vividly colorful DJ design. Presents Salman Rushdie's "Two Years Eight Months & Twenty-Eight Nights". The author's wicked, ironic version of the great epic, "Thousand And One Nights". "A spellbinding work of fiction that blends history, mythology, and a timeless love story. A lush, richly layered novel in which our world has been plunged into an age of un-reason" (Publisher's blurb). "Rushdie is our Scheherazade. His book is a fantasy, a fairy tale, and a brilliant reflection of and serious meditation on the choices and agonies of life in this world" (Ursula K. Le Guin). An absolute "must-have" title for Salman Rushdie collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the half-title page by Salman Rushdie. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Laid-in is a pristine copy of the Souvenir Program during which event his signature was obtained. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (British) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty.
