Abstract
At the beginning of the 19th Century different publishers, printers and booksellers distributed Don Quixote by Cervantes in Mexico City; these businessmen bought commercial spaces in newspapers and magazines to promote their editions. This exploration collects those advertisements to identify the publications that were traded during the first three decades of independent Mexico. The search was made in digital periodical libraries of Mexico and Spain, and the information assisted to identify 10 editions produced in Madrid, Paris, Barcelona and Mexico. The results helped to understand book commercialization, and to recognize aspects about its dissemination among Mexican readers.
Authors who publish in Bibliographica automatically accept the following terms:
a. Authors will keep their authorship rights and will guarantee the journal the first time publication rights of their submitted work, which will be liable to a Creative Commons license that will allow third parties to share their work as long as they give appropriate credit to the author and the first publication is attributed to Bibliographica, it is not used for commercial purposes and modified material is not distributed in case of remix, transformation or recreation.
b. Authors can adopt other non-exclusive distribution license agreements of the published version of the work (for example: deposit it in an institutional telematic archive or publish it in a monographic volume) as long as the first publication is attributed to Bibliographica.
c. Authors are encouraged to self-archive their work (for example: in institutional telematic archives or their website), for this can promote interesting exchanges and increase the citation impact of the published work. (See The effect of open access).
