Description

Harper’s Perennial Library Mystery Series, 1976-1990

Harper’s ambitious reprint series was the most sustained and elaborate effort by a single publisher curating, appreciating and retuning to print previously overlooked mysteries, rediscovering neglected classics, and reclaiming forgotten novels that had sunk from notice over the years.
