Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is a remarkable memoir written by SALMAN RUSHDIE, who chronicles the years he spent in hiding (living under the name "Joseph Anton") after the AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI of Iran issued an Islamic fatwa sentencing the author to death for alleged heresies in his recently published novel The Satanic Verses--the book is a collectible STATED FIRST EDITION and FIRST PRINTING and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy and NOT price-clipped, with the original $30.00 price in the upper corner of the front inner flap. This book is in SUPERB condition and the book has slight dings on the spine and opening tips, VERY slight non-sticky discolored spots in vertical lines on the centers of the boards and back surface of the blank last page where it appears the inner flaps may have been attached to the boards (the book is NOT a former library copy), a small abrasion on the center opening BACK surface of the back inner flap (not visible on the front surface) and just slight evidence of gentle browsing otherwise but NO other significant imperfections! The book is titled Joseph Anton: A Memoir and it was written by SALMAN RUSHDIE; it was published by Random House in 2012 and is a STATED 1st EDITION and 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 246897531.On 14 February 1989, Salman Rushdie was sentenced to death by the Ayatollah Khomeini, guilty of having written The Satanic Verses, a book 'against Islam'. In this memoir he tells the story of the nine years that followed, describing his life as a writer forced underground, moving from house to house, always with an armed police protection team, struggling to be free of the fatwa and living under another name - Joseph Anton.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
