Review: Beautiful bound book…… - This book surprise me of how great it looks. I read Dracula one time in the eighth grade many years ago when it was on sale for $16 thought it’d be nice to add to the collection and take another read. If you’ve never read the original Dracula, it is a must read.. I remember fighting with the teacher in the eighth grade when we were supposed to read a classic and she said Dracula was on a classic, needless to say, I won the argument lol. Will buy some more from this publisher, but not at the full price.. Review: Easy to read print wise - Apart from the volume looking very good (black with gold lettering plus red page edgeing _ what's better for Dracula) the print size is very easy to read. Having watched many film versions of Dracula it has been good to finally read the sorce material I would recommend this to anyone, especially horror movie fans.
