The first volume of Residence on Earth was published by Nascimento on 16 February 1933 in an edition of 100 copies. In a letter to his friend and fellow writer Héctor Eandi, Neruda wrote 'Residencia en la tierra is being printed at this very moment in a luxury edition of just 100 copies, by Nascimento. It will be a stupendous edition. You can count on one copy, the only I'll be able to send to Argentina. It will cost 50 Chilean dollars and I don't think that it will be on sale in Buenos Aires.'
