Dracula, Bram Stoker ~ Special Edition w/ Facsimile First Dust Jacket

Description: I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt; I fear; I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul. Here we offer a very special edition of Bram Stoker's classic, Dracula, published by Four Corners Press, London, in 2009 (though the book is undated.) This edition is notable for its striking cover design, which is patterned after the original 1897 yellow cloth UK first edition cover; its sinister, hallucinatory illustrations--one for each of the novel’s 27 chapters—by James Pyman; its red endpapers and red dyed top of its text block; and its text formatting, typeset with a different typeface allocated to each character--each font being based on those in use at the time of the book's original publication. The book comes wrapped in a facsimile of the very rare Archibald Constable & Company first edition dust jacket, of which only one is known to be extant. The jacket is printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. Also included is a bookmark with first edition notes. Book is excellent with a bit of shelfwear. 492 pages, measures approximately 9.5 x 6-inches. Dust jacket comes sleeved in ph-neutral Mylar, ready to slip into your collection. This very attractive edition of this iconic novel will make a great addition to your collection or very special gift!
