Yes, Charles, I would like very much to know about your expanded list of tango titles in Spanish.
I enjoyed your earlier post that recommended the Canaro memoir, etc. I would love to have a list of a whole range of such books to pore through. I looked for the Canaro memoir. Supposedly you can get a used one from Amazon for about 50 bucks. I saw an Argentine ad for a bookstore in Buenos Aires that had it for 50 pesos. I don't know if they ship it or not. Do you have suggestions for hunting these titles down? I mean, other than the obvious one of browsing in bookstores on Corrientes? I just don't have that option at this time.
