Frankenstein Editions Part I

Next in a series of classic text editions.

Frankenstein is almost 200 years old and has seen English language versions too many to numerate. Here are two recent editions plus one from New York's Lion Books. It is the 1831 version as are London publisher's Vintage and the Pulp! The Classics from Harpenden's (UK) Oldcastle Books.

Hyde Editions Part I

One of my collecting interests is the many editions of titles that continue to be published. An example is Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. First published in 1886 every year brings new editions. Here are two from 2014 plus an edition from Boston's Bailey & Co. published in 1887. This is number 20 in their New England Series and includes four other Stevenson stories.

London publisher's Vintage edition has five other stories while the Pulp! The Classics edition from Harpenden's (UK) Oldcastle Books has none.
