You have peaked my interest, I think I will have to give it a read. Dracula was the first really 'grown-up' book I read. I think I was around seven. Bram Stoker used to live in a house in Sandycove in Dublin close to where I grew up; there's a little blue plaque above the door (in fact it is only a stones throw from the Martello Tower in the opening chapter of Joyce's Ulysses).
I should have thought it would be very easy to get hold of a second-hand copy via Addall or AbeBoks - but do ceck if you can whether the copy you get has the whole text or just the first three quarters!
Also, Elizabeth Kostova wrote the foreword to a recent edition of Dracula. Here it be; perhaps you can use the Search Inside! [sic] feature to read the foreword. If not, let me know, I can scan it into the computer and send it you.

Of course the on-line version is intact.
