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!

Brilliant story, congratulations Jeremy. That top shelf looks most excellent, and fitting that it resides next to the skull chalice...
Congratulations!
