Item description from seller

A first edition, first printing of The Moor’s Last Sigh by Salman Rushdie, published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1995. A very good plus copy, signed by the author on the title page, free from internal inscriptions or marks, with light, even toning to the text block and a firm, square binding. In a very good plus unclipped dust wrapper, showing light handling wear only, with no tears or loss and colours remaining strong. The Moor’s Last Sigh is Rushdie’s fifth novel, a richly layered family saga and political allegory spanning India, Spain, and the legacy of cultural collision. Often regarded as one of his most ambitious post-Midnight’s Children works, it blends magical realism with historical and artistic themes, marking a mature phase in Rushdie’s literary career.

Store description

I began selling books as a way to share my love and passion for collecting books with other people. I enjoy hunting for special editions, completing sets or building out a library of particular authors. The selling to me, is as enjoyable as the collecting itself. What started as a side project has since grown into a genuine passion for sourcing, researching, and sharing collectible books with fellow readers and collectors. I’m especially drawn to rare and interesting editions, first printings, and the satisfaction of completing author runs or series. Every book I list is handled with the same care and curiosity I’d want for my own shelves. I’m a strong believer in transparency. I photograph books from every angle so you know exactly what you’re getting — no surprises, no vague descriptions. I also take pride in careful packaging and presentation, because receiving a book should feel like part of the experience, not just a transaction. I’m always happy to chat about listings, bundles, shipping options, or anything else — and can almost always make something work. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or requests.
