Step Across This Line: Collected Nonfiction 1992–2002

Salman Rushdie · Jonathan Cape (London) · 2002

The US Random House edition (10 September 2002) precedes the UK Jonathan Cape edition (28 November 2002) by about eleven weeks, so the Random House printing is the true first appearance in book form; the Cape printing is the standard British first. Verify precedence copy-in-hand where possible, but the recorded publication dates favor US-first.
