with-Another copy. 8vo, publisher's wrappers, cocked, scattered light soiling, reading cracks to spine, joints rubbed; erased ownership inscription to half-title; usual browning to contents. Second edition, published one month after the first, with this edition notable in that it represents the original cover design intended by the author. To rush the first edition to press, Sudamericana disregarded the image created by the author's friend in Mexico City and instead printed covers bearing an unauthorized image that García Márquez intensely disliked.
