Bram Stoker - Dracula - 1904 Eighth edition published by Archibald Constable & Co. Ltd

Generally regarded as the cheap issue cloth variant, with the same pattern as one of the other variants, but in a coarser red rather than blue cloth, and the lettering and decoration picked out in black rather than red and gilt. This copy is remarkably well preserved, looks to be unread and retains what may well be its original protective paper wrapper placed around it for safe transportation from the printer/publisher.

The cloth is for the most part bright and clean, there is a little fading, bumping and rubbing at the extremities and one or two minor marks, the spine is slightly cocked. The text block is very lightly toned and foxed with no previous ownership marks.

A particularly attractive example of the least desirable cloth variant of the eighth edition, the last to be published by Constable and the first where they made some effort to capture the gothic atmosphere of the novel in the design.
