This chronological set follows crime and detection novels from Vol. 1, "Beginnings to 1920", to "The Twenties and Thirties", "The Forties and Fifties", and finally "The Sixties to the Present". This set is in very good condition, with few notable blemishes or imperfections other than some light fading and some minor wear to the cloth spines, and some minor foxing to the edges, they remain bright and clean copies. "Great Stories of Crime and Detection" are looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any mystery lover.
