"Books are a hardbound drug with no danger of overdose. I am the happy victim of books."
— Karl Lagerfeld
London: Agatha Christie Limited / Harper Collins, 2011-2016. [Mystery / Crime] COMPLETE SET IN 85 VOLUMES, all firsts thus. Each volume states "this novel forms part of an issue of The Agatha Christie Book Collection partwork... not to be sold separately". Octavo (19 x 13). Publisher's red hardcovers blocked in black, each with the illustrated dust-jackets reproducing the original vintage designs. A crisp, clean set. Fine. Not to be confused with the 2006 facsimiles or the BCA facsimiles, this impressive collection was issued over a three-year period and is the Queen of Crime's complete output of detective novels and crime stories. Together with the scarce supplementary facsimiles of her omnibus collections and mystery plays originally published in the 90s, and her two-volume autobiography, this is a challenging set to assemble.
