CATALOGO DEL DEPARTMENTO DE LIBRERIA, 1920.
Catalogue of the book dept. of a Buenos Aires business called The South American Stores, Gath & Chaves Ltd. for 1,000's of current titles. Listings include: much art and literature (emphasizing classics); no children's category except for school and educational books; serious works on natural science, psychology etc., often of an introductory nature, and historical and some political works, but relatively little on current/controversial topics. Many titles in French and English. Some modern customers would find this all deplorably primitive: no cat calendars, celebrity bio's, swimsuit issues, pop-psych tomes, or messages from UFO's. And how did they dare offer all those foreign-language books without a proper, correct multicultural section? Wrappers soiled, rather loose.

AN IMPERFECT SOLUTION.
by D'Ambrosio, Joe
Limited to 50 signed, numbered copies. (Bradbury, D'Ambrosio 2, 56; D'Ambrosio 175, 180). Five special boxes bound in a series between the two covers, with linking texts. Various items within the boxes, such as sea shells, pearls, turquoise, silver, dried flowers, coral, and variously colored papers. A specially cast page is backlit by a tiny bulb that lights when that page is opened. The binding features a cut-out castle form on both front and back covers with floral cloth spine and edges. Title and colophon are on outside binding. A very innovative and unusual production.
