Rebacked, preserving the original cloth spine which was fully present but is soiled and faded, and with a few small outer edge nicks. The boards otherwise have fading, age toning and a few spots of discoloration to the cloth covers. Original end papers present, but with the front fly leaf paper absent and with a very small 1/2″ intact tear to the top of the last 3 pages (now archivally repaired). Otherwise, all pages present and the interior of the book is remarkably clean with maybe only one or two dots of handling marks. The binding is tight and square and the reback has made the book quite sound and not fragile (and therefore even readable!). Scripted owner name to the front paste down. Please see images for details.A great copy of this landmark book in the scarce original boards and in the true first issue, first state, at a great price for this title (as most all but the $38,000 copies are not in the original boards)! Outstanding presentation on the shelf and perfect for a horror genre collector. Accompanied by a very scarce autograph letter signed by Bram Stoker, written in the year of the publication of Dracula.Nineteen Images accompany this listing for full review of the book and letter.This book is part of a collection.
