The Book of Imaginary Beings
New York: E.P. Dutton & Company Inc., 1969.
First American edition. Review copy. Signed by Jorge Luis Borges on the half title in blue ink, inscribed around that by the translator, Norman Thomas di Giovanni in the year of publication, to scholar and translator Robert Lima. Lima wrote the first critical work on Borges in English. His small slips of paper are laid into the book as are some brief notes and publisher's prospectus. An excellent association between the Argentinian author and an American critic of his work. 256 pp. Bound in publisher's cloth with gilt spine lettering. Near Fine in Near Fine, shelfworn dust jacket. A very nice copy.
