by Bram Stoker
First edition, second third printing of Stoker's most celebrated work
Westminster: Archibald Constable and Company, 1897. First edition, second or third printing of this gothic gothic horror classic. x, 390, [391:blank], 16 (undated ads) pp. Bound in publisher's yellow cloth stamped in red. Very Good with moderate soiling to cloth, fading to spine, rubbing to lettering. Repair to front hinge paper, mended tear at pp. 67/8 affecting text, occasional faint stains and chips to contents where roughly opened, rear hinge exposed.
Bibliographically, a complex book: this copy is part of the second printing (or third printing) which printed an advertisement for Stoker's The Shoulder of Shasta on page [392] -- this page is blank in all first printing copies. According to Dalby 10(c), this is the "third issue of [the] first edition," but it is a later printing, not a later issue. The most enduring and influential of all vampire novels.
