Been very impressed with a couple, though one or two have been clunkers. Still, I LOVE the gorgeous covers. A job well done. They're published here by Poison Pen Press in conjunction, I suppose, with the British Library.<br /><br />Three of my favorites so far are THE HOG'S BACK MYSTERY by Freeman Wills Crofts. SECRET OF HIGH ELDERSHAM by Miles Burton and THE CORNISH COAST MURDER by John Bude. But I will keep an eye out for the authors you mentioned in this post, too.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-20446265109301757522016-11-29T14:52:02.571+00:002016-11-29T14:52:02.571+00:00It is there, but no matter - martinedwards10@btcon...It is there, but no matter - martinedwards10@btconnect.comMartin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-27524175631528245852016-11-29T13:41:48.079+00:002016-11-29T13:41:48.079+00:00Hi Martin, is your email anywhere on your website?...Hi Martin, is your email anywhere on your website?

Could I ask about 'Miraculous Murders' and what it might add to existing collections? So that I don't end up duplicating what I have on my Kindle... <br /><br />Many of the British Library Crime Classics are available via Kindle Unlimited - does the publisher get any benefit from readers accessing Crime Classics via Kindle Unlimited? I've still been buying copies of titles I like as I thought this would be the best way to encourage more Golden Age reprints from the British Library...

I never found a copy of LOBELIA GROVE and would love to see that one reprinted since 1. it's so scarce as are all his books, and 2. Curt Evans said good things about that one.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-27778382708913391402016-11-28T23:00:17.408+00:002016-11-28T23:00:17.408+00:00Thanks, Pauline.
