Heron Books Series
Over the coming months of 2011 it is my intention to document the various superb collections that were published by Heron Books in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.
My objective is to supplement the already good work at the Heron publications as listed in the Heron Book Catalogue 1982 website. Anyone wishing to contribute to this documentation is welcome to do so.
My efforts so far can be found by clicking on Heron Books Index

Edito-Service / Heron Books were responsible throughout the 60s, 70s and early 80s for publishing ‘Collectors Editions’ of famous authors, including Agatha Christie, Charles Dickens, Alexandre Dumas, Aldous Huxley, Alistair MacLean, Wilbur Smith and many many others. These books were sold by Mail Order and were advertised mainly in the Sunday Newspaper Supplements.

Hi, my parents bought what they thought was a complete set of “The Story of Civilization” by Will Durant in the “70’s. In the process of selling the books we have realised that Heron Books left out a volume of the 33 volumes, The Life of Greece, volume 3 and duplicated The Age of Faith, volume 2! Would you possibly have a copy of The Life of Greece, Volume 3?
I have been in contact with you before.
Do you have the Heron Books ‘The Black Tulip’ and ‘The Lady of the Camelias’ from the Alexandre Dumas set?
