Signed Detective Fiction Club
The best new Detective Fiction, delivered once a month
Over the years many authors have visited and have become friends of the bookshop. We’re therefore able to secure highly collectable signed first editions of the best detective & crime fiction published today. As a member of the Signed Detective Fiction club, each month you’ll receive a carefully selected signed first edition directly from the bookshop.
It's a great way to build a personal library of collectable signed detective fiction, and also to keep up with the best writing being published today.

Your card will be charged monthly, a couple of days before the book is posted out. If you're buying a gift subscription your card will be charged for the total value of the subscription up front.
Can I give a subscription as a gift?
Yes! We offer gift subscriptions for three, six or twelve months. Please select the duration of your gift when you add it to your basket.
Is there a minimum subscription period?
You can cancel your subscription at any time. Your confirmation email contains a link to manage your subscription. You can modify your subscription by following the link in the email and logging in to your account. Alternatively please do email subscriptions@toppingbooks.co.uk and we can make the change on your behalf.
What happens if I already have a copy of the book?
Usually the books that we select have been published very recently, so the chances of already having a copy are quite low. Often if you do have another copy of a book, it makes a great present for a friend. But if you’d like to exchange a book for another title, just let us know and we can arrange a swap.
