Author(s): Christie, Agatha

1st thus. 510pp. In black cloth boards with gilt and red decorations and lettering, red blocked spine labels, top edge sprayed red, decorative headband, red endpapers (boards are strong, bright and clean, with smooth edges and sharp corners). Faint, occasional spotting on text block fore and bottom edges. Some mild marks on front free endpaper, suggesting there was once a label which has been removed, else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket (gently bumped along upper edge, faded titles on a sunned spine as typical for this edition). Dust jacket now protected in an archival quality Mylar wrapper, fitted without the use of tape or adhesives. A pleasing volume from the Agatha Christie Crime Collection. 8vo. The Agatha Christie Crime Collection, issued by Hamlyn Publishing Group in the late 1960s and early 1970s, is a definitive collected edition of Christie's crime fiction, including her short stories, up to the publication of Nemesis in 1972. Each volume contains three of her detective fiction novels. Issued by Hamlyn on by monthly subscription only and was not sold through bookshops. The set was nicely produced, with each volume featuring golden dagger over Christie's initials on the front panel, coloured endpapers, sprayed edges and encased in period dust jackets, each one featuring a element of one of the three mysteries. Some of those in the series are now hard to find especially, it is said, some of the later issues, as subscriptions to the series fell off towards the end. We have several volumes from this series in stock and offer generous discounts to those purchasing more than one volume at a time - please inquire.
