STOKER, Bram (1847-1912). Dracula. Westminster: Archibald Constable, 1897.
8o. Original yellow cloth, lettered and ruled in red on covers and spine (some darkening and leaning to spine, corners slightly bumped, minor staining to upper cover); quarter morocco slipcase.
FIRST EDITION, first issue, with final blank and without publisher's advertisements. Arthur Conan Doyle praised Dracula: "the very best story of diablerie which I have read for many years. It is really wonderful how with so much exciting interest over so long a book there is never an anticlimax."
