Frankenstein (by Laurent Durieux)
“Presented in glorious, hulking fashion, the devilish fiend known as Frankenstein’s monster has never looked better than in this Universal Monsters Frankenstein Action Figure! This 9-inch scale Frankenstein features a real cloth coat and shirt, and his finely detailed body boasts 10 points of articulation. He’s even covered with scars from his assembly! Frankenstein will add new life to your collection.”
Renowned rare bookseller Peter Harrington is to present to the public the unique first edition presentation copy of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818), given by her to Lord Byron, with her autograph inscription on the front flyleaf.
This copy of the best known fiction of the Romantic era had lain untouched for more than 50 years in the library of the late Douglas, Lord Jay, economist, Labour politician, and president of the Board of Trade under Harold Wilson. His grandson and keen bibliophile, Sammy, was sorting through his political papers for the archives of the Bodleian Library in Oxford, when he made the discovery.

MR. & MRS. FRANKENSTEIN (Voiced by Catherine O’Hara & Martin Short )
Mr. Frankenstein is a travel agent, friendly and social, who likes to dispense roundabout advice to his son. He is proud of Victor’s accomplishments, but is concerned he doesn’t have any friends other than Sparky. He would prefer his son be more social and encourages him to join the baseball team. Mr. Frankenstein has a playful and loving relationship with his wife, Victor’s mom.
Mrs. Frankenstein is a loving and supportive mother who encourages her son’s scientific pursuits, even when her kitchen appliances end up in his attic lab. She is an avid reader and loves to watch movies with her husband and enjoys the company of her family and her books.

“An edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein laid out using characters and glyphs from PDF documents obtained through internet searches. The incomplete fonts found in the PDFs were reassembled into the text of Frankenstein based on their frequency of use. The most common characters are employed at the beginning of the book, and the text devolves into less common, more grotesque shapes and forms toward the end.”
I’m afraid to say I just treated myself to the hardcover edition of this. It’s simply too beautiful for words. Not cheap, but the proceeds go towards Donors Choose, buying textbooks for students.
