Agatha Christie The Crime Collection (24 volumes) (Agatha Christie Crime Collection series)

Complete in 24 volumes.  All copies first thus.  Volume uniformly bound in black cloth with letting on red relief on spine and gilt and red decoration of Agatha Christie’s initial and a dagger on upper panel.  Top edges sprayed  red.  Red endpapers.  8vos.  All volumes in very good condition, with just the occasional slight rounding at spine ends and on some volumes a hint of toning to text block edges.  All in their original dust jackets, not price clipped. a little shelf worn, a little lightly bumping on extreme edges, and the occasional minor rk, slightly toned; the spine lettering on the volume including Nemesis is faded.  

A complete set of the 24 volume Agatha Christie Crime Collection issued by Paul Hamlyn between 1968 and 1972.  Each volume contains three novels or collections of short stories.  Originally issued on a subscription basis only (and not sold in bookshops) it appears some subscribers lacked commitment as the later volumes are less common, and thus complete sets hard to find

A very large and heavy set with a packed weight in excess of 25 kilos.  This set will likely incur an additional charge for overseas delivery – please inquire, giving your desired delivery location, for a precise quote.
