The Library

Welcome to the library. Here you will find images of some of the many different editions of Dracula, from early and rare editions to modern editions featuring Bela Lugosi on the cover. The library also contains images of books about the stage and screen versions of Dracula, Bram Stoker’s other books and biographies of both Bela Lugosi and Bram Stoker and magazines.

You can read complete reviews of the British and American first editions and the Colonial edition of Dracula on our Contemporary Reviews Of Bram Stoker’s Dracula page:

Please contact Andi at andobi@hotmail.com if you have any interesting editions of Dracula or Lugosi-related books that you would like to add to the library.
