ANTIQUARIAN BOOK REVIEW

The internationally renowned Antiquarian Book Review magazine nominated one of our recent catalogues as Catalogue of the Month.
To quote: "...if you wish to dip into the murky depths of criminallity, there would be few better places to start than Clifford Elmer Books' most recent catalogue. Covering all aspects of true crime and criminology, the most avid fan of man's inhumanity to man will find what they are looking for here".
Now in our 31st Year
In September 1978 we issued our first catalogue of True Crime & Criminology books, a very humble duplicated listing. Since that time we have produced nearly two hundred subsequent editions, cataloguing many thousands of rare books, broadsides and items of ephemera, all relating to true crime.
