Choose our next Vintage Collector’s Classic
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. A shortlist of the most-recommended titles will then be voted on by you in the new year until there is one ultimate Reader's Choice!

Are there any limitations on what books I can suggest?
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.
