    • Cover illustration is that of the plate facing page 86 in the 1911 first edition. See the Cover record.
      • As of June 2019, Amazon (UK only, ebook also viewed) provides "Look inside" without title page or back cover (selection varies but that is true on three visits).
      • Copyright page: apparent 1st printing (numberline "1") The ebook copyright screen is more informative; credits cover art/design (see that record) as well as "Life and Times".
      • "History of Collins", p.iii-iv, largely on "affordable editions"
      • "Life and Times", p.v-viii, unsigned, by Gerard Cheshire (from above) Available in full today, containing no "Life" of Stoker, the essay concerns The Lair briefly, mainly Dracula and vampire literature, in modern European context. It credits artist Pamela Colman Smith in a biographical paragraph (see the Cover record).
