Highgate Vampire: The Infernal World of the Undead Unearthed at London's Famous Highgate Cemetery and Environs by Sean Manchester.
This copy of The Highgate Vampire is the original 1985 British Occult Society paperback edition, and valuable, particularly for collectors interested in modern occultism and Highgate Cemetery history. The 1985 version is difficult to find, making it a sought-after item. Listings for this specific ISBN on bookseller sites show the item is unavailable, copies appear infrequently on the market. In fact several decades ago the author himself told me it was a very rare and valuable book - yes he would wouldn't he, but in this case he was correct.
It's packed with interesting photos. Manchester's book provides his own sensationalized version of events, featuring his role as a self-proclaimed exorcist and vampire hunter. Controversial claims: In the book, Manchester claims to have performed multiple exorcisms and to have "staked" and destroyed the vampire in 1973.
