Austin: University of Texas Press, 1964. First edition. Octavo (9.25 x 6.25 in.); xv + 205pp., indexed; off-white cloth boards, in dust jacket. Fine in a near fine, unclipped ("$4.75") jacket with a discreet 1/2" closed tear at head of front spine hinge, some scattered minor soiling. Remarkably, jacket shows almost none of the usual browning--just a trace along the spine panel. A collectible-quality copy of this collection of Borges' essays, translated into English by Ruth L. C. Simms. Introduction by James Irby.
