Antiquarian Bookshops
Buenos Aires is also home to a number of stores
and dealers who specialize in antique topics.
ALBERTO CASARES
Suipacha 521
Alberto Casares is one of the city's most knowl-
edgeable dealers and has a wonderful collection
of antiquarian and contemporary topics. The
pride of the shop is its collection of the writings
of Jorge Luis Borges, probably the most com-
plete in the world. In fact, Borges was present
on November 27, 1985 for the inauguration of
the shop's exhibit of first editions of his work.
It's only fitting that this would be the last after-
noon he would spend in Buenos Aires. He left
for Geneva the following day where he was to
remain until his death seven months later.
