First launched in 1930, the Collins Crime Club quickly became the hallmark of quality detective fiction, publishing works by some of the most celebrated writers of the genre.
This collection brings together first editions, rare dust jackets, and hard-to-find printings from the Crime Club’s distinguished catalogue. Among them are titles by legendary authors such as Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, John Dickson Carr, and many more—writers whose intricate plots and unforgettable detectives defined a generation of crime fiction.
Highly collectable and historically significant, these volumes are sought after not only for their gripping stories but also for their distinctive design and enduring cultural impact. Each book offers a tangible link to the heyday of detective literature and remains a prized addition for serious collectors and enthusiasts alike.
At William Collins Rare Books, we specialise in presenting collections that embody the heritage, rarity, and literary importance of classic works. The Collins Crime Club series stands as a cornerstone of crime fiction history and owning these editions means preserving a piece of that legacy.
