But as I said, this one is actually nicely done and I can see actual effort has been put in to create their new edition.
There are however lots of dodgy sellers who just rip the text from PG and stick a
shoddy wrapper on it, upload it to Amazon and wait for $$$ to roll in.
This is an interesting example of Amazon itself doing it:
including reviews which are actually for completely different editions of Dracula, the film, audiobook versions, etc.
I remember discussing this book in high school math class in the early 1980s… I have referred to it plenty when discussing multiple dimensions but remember so few details that I’m sure I’d benefit from reading it again now.
There are two kinds of people: those who are interested in math, and those who don’t yet know they are interested in math (juuust kidding). But yeah, the phrase “required reading” makes me a little uncomfortable.

Then, in the mid-90s, while visiting Maine, I found a reprint by One World Publications (which included all the original illustrations), the back cover says $7.95 USD, which is probably what I paid.
This is one of those books that I read about once a year.
