A Clubbable Woman

Reginald Hill · Collins Crime Club (London) · 1970

"Crime Club" on the spine is not a book-club tell — Collins Crime Club was a William Collins hardcover imprint (1930–1994), not a subscription club; readers joined only a mailing list. No book-club issue of the 1970 first is documented. Later-issue traps: the Fontana/Collins paperback (1972) and the 1984 Foul Play Press US edition are reprints / "first thus", not firsts.
