Description I have questions about this book. I am just trying to learn more about it and research it. The book is "DRACULA" It was Published By DOUBLEDAY & COMPANY Inc. Written By: Bram Stoker Printed In Garden City, New York. Copyright Date 1897 It is a First US Edition
Category Books and Manuscripts
Medium Hardcover made of black cloth and the Lettering is Red.
Distinguishing marks Pages hace some yellowing and they are fragile. No pages are coming out it is just a old book that has been handled and moved around a lot over the yrears.
Condition Good
Date Period Copyrighted in 1897
History First U.S. edition. It was my grandfather's book. He loved to read and I inherited all of his books after he passed away in 2001. I have moved a lot and probably will be moving again soon. I would rather the book be with someone who is a lover of books like my grandfather was and can appreciate it. I do not want it to get lost or damaged moving and like I said I would rather it be with someone who would take care of it if I decide to sell.
Price $4,000-$5,000

I added a few more links above. I think yours is a Doubleday Book Club Edition from the 1950’s.

I’m guessing it was like book of the month club. I found something yesterday about Doubleday Book Club Edition. If I can find it again I’ll add it here. This is the page http://www.tomfolio.com/publishers/BookClubID.html If it were me I’d email this person and see what they know.
