first edition Hardcover
1929 · London
by SUMMERS, Montague
London: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., Ltd, 1929. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. A bit foxed on the foredge and titlepage, very good or better lacking the dustwrapper. One of the first and most important serious studies of vampire lore (reportedly the Reverend Summers was a believer), published after Bela Lugosi starred in the play version of *Dracula* on Broadway, and before he reprised his role for the classic film. A nice copy.
