STOKER, Bram. DRACULA. New York: Limited Editions Club, 1965. Large 
octavo (7-1/8" x 11-1/8") bound in two textures of black cloth with gilt 
lettering and a blind-stamped design of Dracula on the front cover; 448 
pages. Introduction by Anthony Boucher. Illustrated with 33 wood 
engravings, 8 in three-colors, by Felix Hoffmann printed from the wood 
blocks. Of a total edition of 1500 copies SIGNED by the artist on the 
colophon page, this is one of only 25 Presentation Copies with the 
publisher's blindstamp attesting to such on the colophon page where 
instead of a number the initials "H.M." are handwritten. Acquired 
directly from the publisher's files, and most likely the publisher Helen 
Macy's very own copy. Monthly Letter laid in. Fine in a Fine slipcase.
