don't seem to exist anymore. ___________________ 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. --John Q.
