Description: Rare Set: 39 Vintage Omnibus Books (1967-1977) | Odham’s & The Hamlin Publishing Group | 117 Classic Thrillers, Adventures, & Suspense Novels Book Details: •Publisher: Odham’s / The Hamlin Publishing Group •Publication Years: 1967-1977 •Format: Hardcover •Language: English •Condition: Excellent vintage condition, minor wear consistent with age Description: For discerning collectors and aficionados of classic literature, this rare collection of 39 vintage Omnibus books, published between 1967 and 1977 by Odham’s and The Hamlin Publishing Group, is a treasure trove of thrilling stories. Each volume in this extensive collection contains three unabridged novels, featuring everything from high-stakes espionage to heart-pounding crime thrillers, adventurous war tales, and riveting mysteries. Spanning 117 novels in total, this collection offers readers the best of classic 20th-century fiction, written by some of the most renowned and talented authors of the time. The books are in excellent vintage condition with solid bindings and well-preserved pages that reflect their age without compromising readability. Why This Collection Stands Out: •Rare: 39 volumes from 1967-1977, which is incredibly difficult to find, especially in such excellent condition. •Impeccable Condition: These books have aged gracefully, with minimal yellowing and only minor wear consistent with their age. •Diverse Genres: The collection encompasses a wide range of genres, offering something for everyone—crime thrillers, espionage, war stories, adventure, and more. •Rich History: These books represent a unique slice of literary history from the late 1960s to the late 1970s, featuring works that reflect the intrigue, social tensions, and narrative styles of the era. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a collection in such remarkable condition, and the value of this set will only continue to rise as it becomes rarer over time. Collector’s Note: The Omnibus format of this collection—three full novels in each volume—provides a highly collectible and unique reading experience. Sets in this condition are nearly impossible to find, making this a valuable investment for collectors of vintage books. Each volume is a window into the golden age of literature, offering stories that combine gripping plots, unforgettable characters, and timeless moral dilemmas.
