Anne Perry Biography
The author was born in 1938 and lived in London as well
as California and Suffolk.
This bibliography has been something of a nightmare. Publication date
disparities between the English and American editions plus the British
Library, of which I've spent most of the morning searching, is listing a
lot of later paperback editions ! When more than one title was published
in the same year we cannot guarantee chronology. But chronology IS
correct in terms of the series characters and their relevant
publications
Collectors are only too well
aware of the scarcity of some of the authors English first editions,
especially so in nice condition with original dust jackets. The first
book, The Cater Street Hangman, is extremely collectable and much sought
after. I believe that Anne Perry herself does not have a first edition !
Small British print runs are the reason, US editions are relatively easy
to find. Here in the UK large portions of the print run also went to
public libraries. The British books also have issues with paper tanning
due to poor quality paper stock - makes truly fine copies all but
impossible in regard of the earlier titles. |
