About This Item
First Indian Edition/First Printing; A Very Good or better book in a Near Fine dust jacket. An outstanding copy of this landmark historical novel by one of the leading writers of Urdu fiction in India, this book described as one of "the Indian Subcontinent's best known novels"; this book very scarce in the first Indian hardcover printing and a must have for the Indian fiction collection. This copy is in very good condition with a square, tight binding, bright spine lettering over black boards, and clean, white pages throughout; the book does show a significant push to the spine head with a couple of short tears and some mild wrinkling to the pastedowns and a dozen or so of the early pages, else near fine or better. Housed in a crisp and bright near fine dust jacket that shows some light rubbing to the edges and one short closed tear to the back panel at the spine that has been repaired by one small piece of tape to the verso (not visible unless one looks for it). Overall, a beautiful copy of a very rare book; Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
