Memoria Sobre El Maguey Mexicano

[MJPapay]

If you have read, or seen first-hand, this book:

Memoria Sobre El Maguey Mexicano, by Pablo Blasquez

can you report on:
- general content
- number of pages
- photographs
- if it is a species account?

I came across a reference to this book whilst looking for information on "Tratado de Maguay" by P. Blasquez as mentioned by Trelease in 1920.
According to H.S. Gentry "Tratado de Maguay" enumerated and illustrated with spines and teeth 32 forms of maguey. However, Gentry was unable to locate a copy of this work. In similar vain, nor have I.
