WorldCat library record {{OCLC|35714539}} provides a list of Contents, 14 sections, which the Spanish-language edition must be expected to follow. The first two and last two sections may all be uncredited recent essays, rather than adaptations of or excerpts from Stoker: • Introduction • Dracula's Homeland • Jonathan Harker's Diary ... Mina Harker's Diary (10 such sections) • The Book and the Legend • After Dracula {{OCLC|1000373318}} "Illustrated notes throughout the text explain the historical background of the story."

The 2001 Spanish-language chapbook shares illustrator (from WorldCat records), front cover art/design and page count (from Amazon). WorldCat does not provide a Spanish-language list of contents; that it contains a translation of the 1997 DK may have been inferred from the other coincidences.
