This is not true all of their publications were sold through the same outlets as other publishers - the only mail order aspect was the magazine and mailing list advising members of new titles coming out It is worth mentioning that there is a common misconception the books published by Collins Crime Club are book club editions.

Other colours are reprints, later editions or later impressions - whcihever phrase you prefer. They are NOT variants !

You are quite right to mention ex-public library copies. These often accounted for the largest part of the print run. So whilst not hugely valuable many of these books can actually be difficult to find in fine condition There are some notable exceptions in terms of collectability though: Jonathan Gash Reginald Hill Michael Pearce Are just three that spring immediately to mind Hope this helps a little April Hello April

There are some notable exceptions in terms of collectability though:
Jonathan Gash
Reginald Hill
Michael Pearce
Are just three that spring immediately to mind
Hope this helps a little April
