I have a very large collection of books spanning many topics. A massive gathering of Philip K Dick titles and editions, as well as fine press, signed limited editions, modern firsts, radical movement and conceptual art items. I encourage you to browse my store and categories for a wide range of unique, quality offerings.

Condition: SEE IMAGES. Chapbook appears like new and unread. NO markings. NO creasing. NO tearing. Firm staples. Tight binding. Attractive. Preserved in an acid-free archival bag. The included print and linocut are pristine, suitable for framing.

About: Edition limited to only 250 copies, of which this is numbered 16. This comes with a nice, thick stock print of the cover illustration, signed by the artist Sharon Gosling as well as numbered to MATCH the chapbook. There is ALSO an additional, smaller hand printed linocut of the cover art by Gosling.

From the publisher: Their combined time on screen is barely more than a minute. They remain entirely silent. Their names do not appear in the credits. And yet, for any viewer of Tod Browning’s classic 1931 film it is impossible to deny the impact of Dorothy Tree, Geraldine Dvorak and Cornelia Thaw as the brides of Dracula.

I bid you welcome, to a celebration of those characters, and the lives and careers of the forgotten actresses who brought them to (undead) life...

I will happily answer any further questions.

Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time. With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases.

I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
