I just did a search for Jorge Luis Borges - Obras Completas at
www.bookfinder.com and it came back with several hits from various
bookstores and booksellers. That's how I always find my rare/obscure
books. I recommend it.
I take it you collect Borges in the original Spanish. Admirable! My
collection is mostly in English translation (the Dutton series, etc.),
although I have 2 or 3 of his works in Spanish. Unfortunately, despite my
heritage, I speak Spanish at only about an 8th-grade (U.S.) level, which is
fine for travelling and general conversation, but not well enough to read
Borges without a diccionario in hand.
