About Us
CRW is a publishing house with a commitment to producing high-quality hardback classics at prices which enable each reader to build a real and wonderful library of his or her own.
‘The Collector’s Library is a marvellous idea. The books are handier, more elegant and more readable than most paperbacks, and are keenly priced too.’
Nicholas Clee, BookBrunch
‘They are so well made, have a sense of fitness, and come to hand so comfortably, an absolute delight for any bookworm with alert senses’.
Christina Hardyment, author & broadcaster
‘I cannot imagine a more heavenly present; they are so beautifully produced and illustrated.’
Jilly Cooper, novelist
‘It is delicious to see gilt edges again. ... They are far more pocket-sized than any paperback.’
Joanna Trollope, novelist
‘The Collector’s Library series is one of the most innovative and exciting things to have happened in fiction publishing for a long time.’
Dr Martin Latham, Waterstone’s
‘They are so beautifully reproduced and at such a reasonable price! I am absolutely delighted with them.’
DY, Wiltshire
‘In this day of the paperback it is refreshing to have hardback books which are so attractive. Not only are they beautifully printed and presented but their small size means that they can be carried around in my handbag without taking up too much space. Also, a not unimportant consideration, you have managed this at a very reasonable price.’
CAP, London
‘I have just found out about your series of books and think they’re brilliant!’

‘We have been on sabbatical in Wales and are returning to the States. I have really enjoyed reading many of your small novels and have purchased a good number of them.’
MS, Connecticut
‘I absolutely love these little works – so easy to read because they are easy to hold. I do most of my reading in bed! Please, please may you produce more of them.’
