Stoker (Bram) Dracula, first abridged paperback edition, half-title (a little spotted), 6pp. advertisements at rear, light marginal browning, original pictorial upper wrapper (light browning and soiling, some chipping and creasing along spine and fore-edge), spine and lower wrapper supplied, preserved in custom drop-back box with morocco label to upper cover, 8vo, 1901.

⁂ The rare first paperback edition, only a handful of copies known featuring the first printed illustration of Dracula. Stoker oversaw the abridgment himself, cutting around 15% from the original text. He also approved the illustration which includes many of the classic features (pointed ears, receding hair and bat-like cape) that define the character today.
