BIBLIOGRAFÍA YUCATECA, by Felipe Teixidor.

MERIDA, YUCATAN, MEXICO: Museo Arqueologico e Historico de Yucatan / Talleres Graficos del Sudeste, 1937. First Edition in book form (originally serialized, Limited to 500 copies, this being copy number 196. The bibliography contains 1,460 listings, no illustrations.

FINE BINDING. The original book complete with its paper wrappers have been finely bound in hardcovers with red morocco half-leather and red cloth covered boards, four raised spine bands, and gilt titles and designs to the spine; 8vo. 5.75x9 inches (14.5x22cm), 263 pages. TEXT in SPANISH.

Laid-in here and there in between pages are approx 40 pieces of ephemera, mostly scraps of paper with handwritten notes, plus some clippings and a few other items. Most seem relevant. I have not fully investigated the importance of the ephemera (if any), but the fine binding, the ephemera, and the penciled relevant margin notes here and there throughout, indicate the book likely had a scholarly previous owner at one point.

Condition: The finely bound covers have a few scrapes to the edges, otherwise they are solid and quite attractive. The bound-in front and rear wrappers are darkened and toned, both have a stiff vertical crease, and some edge wear and light chipping; the text pages are toned to a greater or lesser degree, and some of them have edge wear; there are numerous relevant, handwritten margin notes, in pencil, here and there throughout.
