Dracular book

Legacy_user

My daughter has asked for a Brahms stoker "Dracula " book which I thought was an easy task BUT there are so many versions can anyone recommend one please ?

Does she have a kindle? Free downloadable one here from the fabulous Gutenberg press.

Most public libraries would have a copy as standard.

This is the sort of version they'd use in schools:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dracula-Penguin-Classics-Bram-Stoker/dp/014143984X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1439235765&sr=1-2&keywords=dracula


Or is it as a gift or is there something in particular she wants it for?

Its a gift for her she is 18 so probably not a school version, she prefers a hard copy rather than electronic.
I didn't realise there were so many versions !

If she wants the original, try something like the penguin classics version. If you go into Waterstones or similar you'll probably find that the books are the same just with a different cover for different editions.
(I'm guessing auto correct did the honours changing Bram to Brahms, just to confuse things.)

You could try Abe Books? They have everything from First Editions onwards depending on what you want to spend!

Penguin Classics are usually in easy to read type, some of the other editions aren't.
If you get a bargain, add on Sheridan Lefanu's "Carmilla" - the first female vampire, written before Dracula and amazingly atmospheric.

Penguin Classics are a good bet, easy to read. They also do Clothbound editions or try Folio society- their are book are beautifully bound. however I am unsure of the quality of the clothbound and folio society editions- they look beautiful on a bookshelf no doubt but I don't know much of their quality in terms of readability.

Thanks everyone i odered the penguin version and also Carmilla for under £10 on Amazon.
