You got fleeced for the 4th one at that price.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

So, I bought them again at the library bookstore today, for 50 cents each.
I love library book sales.

I love my library bookstore. I volunteer there and am working there tomorrow. There are some awesome sci-fi books on the shelf right now, practically new, that sadly I already own. Everything in the store is under $4.

Dear people who go to library book sales, please remember that your resident goth collects copies of Dracula. ::grins

Jilli, anything specific? Or will any Dracula do?

I have the two paperbacks with the tie-in covers for the Coppola movie, and I've got the various paperback versions that B&N re-releases. Other than that, I will take any edition. The older the better, of course. Thank you for looking!

You would love the copy I have, which has a really goofy picture of Dracula sneaking up on unsuspecting victim. I think it might even be a large print edition.
One of these days, I'll actually read the damn book.

Okay, now that I'm done reeling in shock at that statement: there are sections of the book that are difficult to get through, and Cleolinda was absolutely correct when she said Van Helsing speaks in kind of a LOLCats syntax. But still! Read the damn book!

Every time October comes around, I consider doing a Frankenstein/Dracula doubleheader, but then I'm always embroiled in something else. This year, looks like I'll be in the middle of the Dresden Files.
I did read the novelization of the Coppola movie! Does that count?
