The Modern Library bought the Sun Dial Library from Doubleday in 1930. Among the titles was Bram Stoker's Dracula, the only title where they reused the dust jacket image (left). Dracula was the best-selling title in the Sun Dial Library.

The Modern Library edition was printed from new plates made by Doubleday for the ML's exclusive use. (The ML edition had 418 pages, while the Sun Dial Library edition had 354 pages.)

An incredibly popular title, Modern Library editions of Dracula have appeared in most or all of the successive binding and endpaper designs used by the ML from 1932 on.
