The International Collectors Library was a book club series published by Doubleday Book & Music Clubs, Inc. from the late 1940’s through the late 1980’s.
Generally, the books followed the 8-1/2″ x 5-3/4″ book size format. The binding designs were adapted based on old “Golden Age of Bookmaking” bindings, and made to look like leather-bound copies (leatherette). The bindings were embossed with 24K gold embellishments, and some copies had gilt edges (thin layer of gold leaf) applied. A sewn in satin ribbon marker was also added in most books. There were over 400 editions published in a variety of bindings. Some editions came with loose-leaf inserts that described the book club, the bindings and design styles, and a story synopsis of the book-in-hand.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Dame Daphne du Maurier, Lady Browning, DBE was an English author and playwright. Although she is classed as a romantic novelist, her stories have been described as "moody and resonant" with overtones of the paranormal.
Echoes from the Macabre is collection of nine tales of suspense and quiet terror includes 9 du Maurier classics DON’T LOOK NOW; THE APPLE TREE; THE POOL; THE BLUE LENSES; KISS ME AGAIN, STRANGER; THE CHAMOIS; NOT AFTER MIDNIGHT; THE OLD MAN; THE BIRDS.
CONDITION: Book is in EXCELLENT condition for its age (46 YEARS OLD) with only some minor shelfwear to the edges of the boards and some age spotting to the page ends & first & last couple of pages of the book, something very common in these old editions (SEE PICS FOR BETTER DETAILS). NO WRITING FROM PREVIOUS OWNER, ETC. It is a BEAUTIFUL edition.
