RUSHDIE, Salman.
Midnight's Children.
London, Jonathan Cape, 1981.
The initial UK printing of this book was abandoned at proof when it was discovered that the copy text had been an early draft and not the finished version. (Which being the reason UK proofs of the Cape run were recalled, are of the utmost scarcity and of considerable value). To meet the publication schedule Cape acquired 2500 sets of sheets from the US printing issuing them with a UK title page as in the present example. The Booker of Bookers. A masterpiece.
First UK edition, first impression from American sheets; 8vo; publisher's cloth-backed boards, titles to upper board and spine in silver, with the unclipped pictorial dustjacket, some fading to spine extending onto front and rear panels; a very good copy.
