ANTIQUARIAN BOOK REVIEW
Catalogue of the Month
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".
We are now the only international bookseller issuing regular hard copy catalogues devoted solely to true crime & criminology.
Now in our 32nd 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. DOWNLOAD OUR LATEST CATALOGUE
Our first catalogue for 2010 is now available for mailing or downloading. Hard copies can be sent free on request to anywhere in the world. Each issue contains in excess of 200 items with detailed descriptions.
