Su Excelencia [*SIGNED*]

Mexico City: Finisterre. Very Good+. 1969. Second Edition. Softcover. [modest edgewear to covers, front cover slightly curled]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the front endpaper: "Cordialmente / Cantinflas." A novelization of the 1967 satirical political film of the same name, in which Cantinflas plays a fictional Latin American country's ambassador to an also-fictional communist country. (Text in Spanish.) NOTE regarding the signature and inscription: although it may appear at first glance to be printed, the verso of the page (at least to my eyes) shows some traces of pen-point indentation; if it HAD been printed, it would presumably have been so in every copy, and yet none of the copies currently offered online make any mention of a printed signature. (NOTE also that although it's well-known that "Cantinflas" was merely the author's stage name (full name Mario Fortino Alfonso Moreno Reyes, usually rendered simply as "Mario Moreno"), on the title page of this book it's printed as "Mario Moreno Cantinflas.") Signed by Author .
