Dracula - Bram Stoker
Archibald Constable, London, 1897
FIRST Edition, Later Issue: Original cloth. An excellent clean, bright example of this first printing title bound in thicker paper stock, and the 1897 copyright and 1897 title pages, but with advertisements in the back. The first edition printed sheets were printed by the publisher in one-go, but then bound on more than a single occasion by the publisher, as orders were received, or perhaps to advertise other publications. The earliest first printing 'first issue' was bound with no advertisements. More Info »
