Emece editores

First collected edition.
Handsome copy despite slight scuffs to one joint.
Manuscript date at foot of first endpaper, probably that of the author's dedication made at the Librería General de Tomás Pardo in Buenos Aires; we include a bookmark from this bookshop.
Manuscript signature of Jorge Luis Borges on the half-title page.

First edition.
Spine very lightly sunned without any gravity, final endpaper partially shadowed due to the presence of a press cutting.
Handsome autograph inscription signed by Silvina Ocampo to her friend Ema Risso Platero: "A Emita, para que no me olvide en los jardines del mundo en donde hay verdes... que nos dan y temura. Silvina 1963." ["To Emita, so that she doesn't forget me in the gardens of the world where there are greens... that give us tenderness. Silvina 1963."]
Ema Risso Platero, Uruguayan diplomat, was a painter, poet, writer (she notably published Arquitecturas del insomnio with a prologue by Borges) and was a friend of Michel Foucault and Jorge Luis Borges.
