Our Vintage Collector’s Classics celebrate the books that have stood the test of time, stories that continue to live on in readers’ hearts long after their first read.

As the series grows, we want to ensure that it continues to reflect its reader’s most-loved books - so why not have your say in what we publish?

We're offering readers the chance to recommend a title they'd love to see added to the series. We are looking for recommendations for books that are 'out of copyright' in the UK. This means works published in the lifetime of authors who died before 1956. Any ‘in copyright’ works will be ineligible as we cannot guarantee we hold the rights to publish those books.

If your suggested book is selected as our Reader's Choice, you will be entered for the chance to win all of our published Vintage Collector's Classics.
