As far as I can tell, all major sellers are only selling the (comparably ugly) 90s version.
For example, here is the Amazon.ca listing (yes I'm Canadian but I can't find it from any American sellers either). As you can see, only the old cover is for sale.
Is this edition simply not in print yet (potentially because it's his last novel)? I can find every other novel (barring The Original of Laura, if you consider it a novel) with the redesign, just not this one.
I'd appreciate any help, thanks a bunch
EDIT: BTW I hope this is the right subreddit for this. I'm not interested in collecting them because they'll ever be worth anything, I just really enjoy these covers and would like the whole set on my shelf.
The sunflowers are mine by Martin Bailey is a really good book about Van Gogh's story of his life and how he became famous after this death. It's got pretty nice reproductions of his paintings and a focus on his famous sunflower paintings. However it's not leather bound but a beautiful coffee table book read nevertheless. I've read this book and as a Van Gogh lover found it enjoyable!

I came across Amereon House as I was working on my Heinlein collection. They “accidentally” printed pirated versions of a couple of his books, as they thought that they were in the public domain. You can search “Amereon” in the publisher field on abebooks.com and have a lot of results come up, for both Amereon Limited and Amereon House. Although I was not able to find specific examples of Dracula, there were examples of some of Stoker’s other works, one of which is The Garden of Evil. Amazon shows copies of Dracula, although out of stock.
I’ve come to consider Amereon House along the lines of The Franklin Mint. Their “Limited Editions” have relatively little value to collectors, excepting titles like the Heinlein books I mentioned earlier, which are only valuable due to their rarity and illegality.
However, it is still a nice looking book, and it would make an interesting and valuable addition to your collection!
Thanks. I found it in Barnes and noble. The illustrations look pretty cool. Another cool thing is that it's a lot more reasonably priced than the anniversary editions they carry.

If you're looking to read it, the Howard/Paret translation is the most common and readable translation. It was originally published in three volumes, but it is one work and is published now as the full text. Avoid the Penguin translation or any abridgments unless you need some kindling. Here's a link to the Howard/Paret translation on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/War-Indexed-Carl-von-Clausewitz/dp/0691018545/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1457787735&sr=8-2&keywords=On+War
If you're looking for old three volume editions as collectibles, good luck.
Don't want to ruin your perfect trilogy, but Pullman just launched an addendum series to these featuring Lyra as an adult and it has different cover art. He just re-released the whole series with new cover art to match the new books.

I'm guessing it is only the first 5 books (in reality papyrus rolls) of his surviving work (35 extant out of originally 142), corresponding to this Penguin volume.
So you need the other 3 volumes to have a complete set of his surviving writings.
This one is very nice. Here's a new listing on eBay.
