Released on June 7 on iTunes, the new Frankenstein Biblion gives users the opportunity to explore over 500 rare collection items, plus 750 pages of primary source documents, including Mary Shelley’s 1816-17 original handwritten draft of Frankenstein, which NYPL currently has on loan from Oxford’s Bodleian Library. That draft is paired with a transcript of her revised 1831 edition—the best known version—allowing users to see how each page was edited over time.

Try the new Biblion out now for free! It’s fantastic (and we’re not just saying it because we have to because we don’t have to).
