    So a couple of months ago, I was literally gutted because I accidentally found a copy of a first french edition of DRACULA.
    It was a bit pricey, but reasonnable for the book.
    It seemed in good / very good condition, but I emailed the seller with a question because i thought i saw that pages were becoming loose.
    Waiting for a reply from the seller, the book was sold.

    I was gutted because it was the first copy i ever saw for sale, and technically I could have bought it but I was stupid to not rush on it.
    Furthermore, I could have gotten it "cheapish" because I remembered I have a 100e voucher since december !

    Anyway, I was on my laptop by 2am this week when I recieved an alert that a copy was available.
    The seller provided some pictures showing some damages, described the copy thoroughly and it was a bit cheaper because of the lower state compared to that previous damn copy that I missed.

    I literally jumped on the occasion : reading a bit the lenghtly description to be sure that I do not miss any important details because it was several hundred euros, but do not want that someone else jumps in the meantime if they got the alert !

    So, here is my french first edition of DRACULA !

    There interior is a bit damaged, but I was looking for a copy since awhile.
    On the front cover is written "3000th". The seller discussed it with me as he is quite a savy librarian and keen of vampires among other stuff, and explained that this was a common practice back in the day to pretend that books were selling well, but that may not mean that this is a third printing as nothing else is different from copies without that mention (and yes, the copy i missed a couple of months ago DIDNT have that mention!)








    So this copy joins this part of my library, which contains a first french edition of JEKYLL & a second french edition of Frankenstein.
    Interestingly, I discovered through that seller something i didn't know about frankenstein. I always thought that the only known copy of the first french edition is at the national library. Well he proved me that a copy was sold a year or so ago through an auction house and went for 15,000€.
    Unfortunately there are no actual pictures of the copy.
    He also told me that over the course of years he seem to have noticed about 6 copies about the 1st french Frankenstein.

    Anyway, here is the spot of my collection surrounded by a skull of JD, and bottle of absinthe and a freaky glass!

    Very cool! And a neat story to go with it. Strange that they have Bram's name spelt Brahm*.

    I could really sink my eyeteeth into that copy of DRACULA.

    WARNING - Don't ever set anything on top of your Dark Score Lake record player! (I heard about a dummy who did)
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...

    I'll try to put some new pictures of my collection this weekend.
    In the meantime, here is something quite cool.

    My second favorite author is Bernard Werber, a french writer unknown in the english world as only his first book was released in english.
    Tonight was the signing for his latest book. I got that book signed but also, another one that I brought : a very rare first printing (1/12,000 copies) from his very first book. I already had another one that I got signed couple of years ago, but I wanted to get my second copy signed.

    He showed it to him, and he told me something that I didnt know after checking it out : that the first phrase of the 1st printing is different from the subsequent printings who have an added sentence at the start!
    So he signed the book and made a point to mention that specificity by writing (in french) : "this is the 1st sentence of the 1st version !!"



    I'll have to ask him more details about the reason of this opening change!
