Re: dracula, bram stoker

OMG...you must go to a specialty antiquarian book auction house. It may be 1st or 2nd edition.....$75,000, if it was signed! http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=bram+stoker&y=8&tn=dra…
There are 4 versions & price varies...can you see the publisher? Must read... http://www.cesnur.org/2003/dracula/I.htm This is the most exciting thing I've seen here, yet. Put it in a safe till you can authenticate it.

Re: dracula, bram stoker

Oh, boy...more research reveals there are fakes or rather 30th anniversary editions with that date... you have a lot of research to do, good luck! http://newportvintagebooks.com/help/prices_realized_Dracula.htm http://reviews.ebay.com/Dracula-1897-First-Edition-Book-is-NOT-Grosset-…
If your really is the Dunlap, it may be a later reprint.

You really need to get yourself an Antiquarian book seller to examine this one, as has been previously pointed out if this is indeed a 1897 first edition it is worth big bucks. If you could show some images of the first pages that list publishing details we would be more able to help you.
