Condition: Fine
Description: First edition, first printing. SIGNED to title-page. The uncorrected proof state. Scarce, especially signed. Issued in advance of the hardcover release, and in a smaller print run. The most desirable state, therefore, of this early Rushdie, and his first non-fictional work - a brilliantly focused and haunting portrait of the people, the politics, the land, and the poetry of Nicaragua. A lovely, highly collectable item, attractive, and carefully conserved. A Fine example. Described by Edward Said as an "extraordinary book", early signed works by Rushdie continue to grow in collector appeal, and this is an excellent instance - being an uncommon issue state.
