The Collector’s Book of Detective Fiction.

Eric Quayle

The Collector’s Book of Detective Fiction.

London:

Studio Vista

1972

I purchased this book sometime in the 1990s and pored over, read, and re-read it for years before I began to seriously collect detective fiction. More than any other reference book, it has shaped my collection. I never thought that one day I would have books from Quayle’s own library in my possession.
