Product Description
Review
‘Agatha Christie’s masterpiece.’
Spectator
‘One of the very best, most genuinely bewildering Christies.’
Observer
‘The most astonishingly impudent, ingenious and altogether successful mystery story since The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.’
Daily Herald
‘One of the most ingenious thrillers in many a day.’
Time Magazine
‘There is no doubt that this is a highly ingenious jigsaw by a master of puzzling.’
Books
‘There is no cheating; the reader is just bamboozled in a straightforward way from first to last… The most colossal achievement of a colossal career. The book must rank with Mrs Christie’s previous best – on the top notch of detection.’
New Statesman
‘The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating. It is the most baffling mystery Agatha Christie has ever written.’
New York Times
Product Description
A facsimile first edition hardback of the world’s best-selling crime novel, published to mark the 120th anniversary of Agatha’s birth.
Ten strangers, apparently with little in common, are lured to an island mansion off the coast of Devon by the mysterious U.N.Owen. Over dinner, a record begins to play, and the voice of an unseen host accuses each person of hiding a guilty secret. That evening, former reckless driver Tony Marston is found murdered by a deadly dose of cyanide.
The tension escalates as the survivors realise the killer is not only among them but is preparing to strike again… and again…
To mark the 80th anniversary of Hercule Poirot's first appearance, and to celebrate his renewed fortunes as a primetime television star, this collection of facsimile first editions will be the perfect way to enjoy these books in their original form – 15 novels and one short story collection. Reproducing the original typesetting and formats of the first editions from the Christie family's own archive copies, these books sport the original covers which have been painstakingly restored from the best available copies, reflecting five decades of iconic cover design.

M A Dalton of Brisbane, Australia, wants to know why this title appears to have been pulled. Could it be something to do with the original title? All these books are facsimiles of the original UK publications and dust jackets. The original title, realeased in the UK, was Ten Little Niggers - And Then There Were None is the American title for the book. Could Harper Collins be a little jittery about publishing the book with the original UK dust jacket? If they release it with the original US dust jacket, then this would not be in keeping with all the other previously released and future releases of the UK facsimile publications. Best to contact Harper Collins (UK) direct, I guess. ***UPDATE*** - as I thought, it is the title that is causing the problem - these are UK facsimiles and the original title is causing some debate. I have just heard back from Harper Collins UK, and the matter will be discussed in the new year (2011) and they are hoping to finally publish the facsimile edition towards the end of 2011.

Anyone who's religiously collecting these facsimile reprints must be wondering what's going on with this long-awaited release. Amazon says the release date is December 9 but it looks like its now been pulled. Anyone know what's going on? Fans know what an essential work this is.
Further to comments already made here: Perhaps due to the controversy of the original title, Harper Collins could offer this particular item as made-to-order as opposed to marketing its availability? I certainly appreciate the objections of some but this option should satisfy the completists.

I just received an e-mail from Harper Collins in which they announced that the publication of "and then there were none" in facsimile has been cancelled. So for all the Agatha Christie fans who were hoping to have the entire collection this is bad news:-(
Just thought that this information might be helpfull to some of you
