432 pp, index + xxxv. Black and orange printed illuminated initial on on the first page of the introduction. In Spanish. Introduction by Francico Monerde Garcia Icazbalceta. With an index of pseudonyms (Indice de Seudonimos) and index of titles (Indice de Titulos). The definitive work on Mexican novelists (pre-1926, of course). We believe this is the original 1926 edition, missing its title page. Although this was reprinted in facsimile in 1970, this edition is ex-library, and still has the order to bind dated 1969. Dark green library binding with gilt spine is clean and nice, interior has all the normal library stigmata. Some pages are chipped at the edges, title is missing, paper somewhat browned. Nevertheless an extremely rare copy of the original edition of this hard-to-find and seminal work.; Ex-Library; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
