Book Versions

I love the new hard cover versions of the original sublime artwork for the AC books they have in Melbourne(AU), but i wish they had made them all of a uniform height (oops just my fastidious Poirotesque nature coming to the surface).

I hope they re-release the Tom Adams devine cover versions as it is getting harder and harder to locate copies in second hand stores that are in decent nick.

If you're looking for Tom Adams's wonderful work, try to find a copy of "The Agatha Christie Cover Story," aka "Agatha Christie- the Art of Her Crimes." It's an anthology of most of his covers along with great commentary.

About how much of a difference in height is their between the new Australian hardcovers?

HI GKCFan

I' ve already got 2 copies of the Agatha Christie - The Art of Her Crimes and its fantastic. But unfortunately i have become a bit OCD in my book collection as I try and refine my collection to include only Fontana published versions of Mrs Christie's books specifically those with Mr Adams's artwork on the cover. 

Some of the original hardcover  re - releases had a variant to 1 to 2 cm height difference, which my last visit to the bookshop confirmed the publishers appear to have since rectified this issue.
