Dracula, Please Call Mrs. Kerney

I looked forward to the book fairs we had every year in grade school. This is Bram Stoker's Dracula adapted for kids. Inside are creepy illustrations done in black and purple! I loaned this to a friend shortly after I got it. Apparently they didn't keep scrap paper near their phone, because when it was returned it had a name and phone number written on the first page. Thanks for writing in my new book, jerk.

I also hate it when people fold the corner of a page over ... Classic book.

Folding the corner of a page in a book makes me shudder. Even worse is when someone cracks the spine or bends the cover. I once loaned someone a brand new paperback and it was returned looking like it was twenty years old. Barbarians...

Cracking a spine is akin to breaking someone's back.

True story: the first bedtime story my father read to us was Bram Stoker's Dracula. I think that explains a lot.

It would be fabulous to see the inside of this gem.
