The book and its contents are in mostly clean, bright condition. The text pages have generalize light toning. The dust jacket is clean and bright. "A feature of Newman's fiction is his fondness for reinterpreting historical figures (particularly from the entertainment industry) and other authors' characters in new settings, either realistic alternate-history or outright fantasy. Some of these characters (e. G. Dracula) are easily recognised. Many more, particularly minor characters, are obscure except to knowledgeable readers. An example is the appearance of the American John Reid, who owned a silver mine and exported silver bullets to Great Britain in Anno Dracula (a reference to the Lone Ranger). Another is the American actor named Kent cast as "Hercules" in an Italian production of the same name (apparently a reference to both George Reeves and Steve Reeves) who played Superman and Hercules, respectively) in the novel Dracula Cha Cha Cha a. K. A. Judgment of Tears: Anno Dracula 1959. " (from Wikipedia); Signed by Author .
