BINDING

A hard-cover book half-bound in marbled paper with a blue cloth spine. The printing on the spine appears on a small strip of paper (originally white) that reads (in black): “H. BUSTOS DOMECQ | DOS FANTASIAS MEMORABLES”. The printed label on the spine is missing from the second copy. Since the text block in this copy is detached from the spine, it was clear that this part had simply been glued to the covers. There is a small amount of gauze-like material in the interior portion of the spine. There are also two small pieces of fabric sewed to either end of the spine to (possibly) give the appearance that this text block was sewn to the cover boards. Also, by being able to analyze the text block separately from the cover boards, it is clear that there are only two gatherings.

PAPER

Wove. Vertical chain lines on each of the pages. The pages are quite light with very little yellowing or age damage. In comparison with other works published by the Editorial Sur during this time, the paper seems of a much higher quality. There are organic flecks throughout the pages, which also suggests a higher quality of material. The pages are also cut to a more uniform length with slight deckle edges, but it is impossible to say whether the pages were trimmed while the text block was being rebound, or if this quality is from the original state of binding of the book itself.

Even though the book has been rebound, the original covers are conserved. The back cover lists the original price of the volume in white: “$ 2.80 m/arg.” Unlike his later Ficciones (Editorial Sur, 1944), this edition lists previously published works by the author and includes two of his collaborative anthologies published to date: Antología clásica de la literatura argentina (1937) and Antología de la literatura fantástica (1940). It is curious that the Antología poética argentina (1941) is not included in this list as well since it was produced almost simultaneously with El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan.
