There were two previous and somewhat different versions in 1818 and 1823. <BR/><BR/>I think the new "original" version will be interesting to people who have already read the book. It is in comparing the editions that it becomes interesting.Pierre Fournierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109698812799559366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112951555998191786.post-43144664336720123952008-10-07T16:11:00.000-04:002008-10-07T16:11:00.000-04:00Fascinating.

Not saying this is a surefire collector's item, but Mr. Robinson's previous Frankenstein book (mentioned in the post), published only 12 years ago, currently goes for $800 and up.
