Dracula
A collection of 14 scholarly papers on the life and times of the historical Dracula. This impressive research deserves much better than the wretched package containing it. The book production (Romanian) is by far the worst we've seen in decades. Acidic paper is the least of the book's blemishes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Yet the emergence of the book was a process of immense historical importance and heralded the dawning of the epoch of modernity.
