First edition of the French translation, of which there were no deluxe copies, a Service de Presse (advance) copy. Pleasant copy despite the spine being slightly browned. Signed autograph inscription by Carlos Fuentes to a couple of friends: "A Emir y Magdalena - ! pop ! hizo la champana, adentro habia mate y tequila. Carlos." ["To Emir and Magdalena - ! pop ! went the champagne, inside there was mate and tequila. Carlos."]
