Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. For the rules see her blog. The topic this week is a Book Cover Freebie.
How it works:
There’s a new topic every Tuesday. You create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list on that topic or one of your own if you wish and then link back to That Artsy Reader Girl so that others know where to find more information. If a weekly topic is listed as a “freebie”, you are invited to come up with your own topic. Sometimes she will give the freebie topic a theme, such as “love”, a season, or an upcoming holiday. That just means that you can come up with any topic you want that fits under that umbrella.
So today my top ten are twelve –
Twelve First Edition Agatha Christie book covers.
- The Mysterious Affair at Styles, first published in 1920 – Hercule Poirot
- The Man in the Brown Suit, first published in 1924 – Colonel Race
- The Secret of Chimneys, first published in 1925 – Superintendent Battle

- The Murder at the Vicarage, first published in 1930 – Miss Marple

- Peril at End House, first published in 1932 – Hercule Poirot
- Lord Edgware Dies, first published in 1933 – Hercule Poirot
- Murder on the Orient Express, first published in 1934 – Hercule Poirot

I’ve read all of Agatha Christie’s crime fiction novels and the links are to my posts – although the books I read were not first editions!

What a clever idea for a Top 10, Margaret! And very appropriate, too, since it’s Agatha Christie’s birthday today! I love it!

Those covers are so evocative! I love them. I just started re-reading Christie and just finished The Clocks.

I love these covers and I think I’ve read all the Christie books too. Not with these covers though. Makes me want to own all of them. LOL

It’s really fun to look back and see what covers of older, famous series look like now. They’re all so cool.

How fun to see all these vintage covers! Book cover design has come a long way, hasn’t it?
Happy TTT!

Aren’t they fabulous? I must admit I’ve seen pics of a lot of Christie covers but for some odd reason never any first editions, bet they’re worth a penny or two if you have any.

Very cool! I wonder if I still have the old, battered paperbacks of the James Bond books my husband read as a boy? Some of those are pretty neat!

This was great. “The Man in the Brown Suit” was the first Christie book I ever read, and the rest is history. I hardly ever see mention of it — but found it on your list here.
The cover art seems pretty similar across the books. Except may be — “Lord Edgware Dies” (seems gaudier/ more modern-looking?).
Wonderful theme for Top 10 Tuesday. My own had just been a tired put-together of TBR book covers!
