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.
