Detective Book Club oddity
I picked up today a "collector's item" published by the Detective Book
Club (aka Walter Black, Roslyn, NY). It was one of their three-in-one mystery collections, but bound in a heavy blue leather or leatherette, with gilt ends and a ribbon marker. The three books a - Erle Stanley Gardner, THE CASE OF THE EMPTY TIN - Agatha Christie, EVIL UNDER THE SUN - The Lockridges, A PINCH OF POISON The three novels were orignally publshed in 1941, but their copyrights are all listed as renewed in 1969, which is when I assume this book comes from. There's a limitation page which says "Copy 142 of 170 copies." There's nothing else in or on the book to indicate why this elaborate production. Any ideas? |
