Begin Your Project With a Deposit — Juniper Custom

Agatha Christie is, by every measure, the most popular mystery writer who has ever lived. Her novels have never been out of print. Her characters — Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, the endlessly surprising casts of suspects gathered in country houses and railway carriages and small Belgian villages — have become part of the permanent furniture of the literary imagination. And for years, her books have been the single most searched-for collection on Juniper Books.

It is not hard to understand why. A shelf of Agatha Christie, beautifully curated and dressed in unified jacket design, is one of the most satisfying things a library can hold.

What This Service Offers

At Juniper Custom, we offer fully bespoke Agatha Christie book sets and collections in any size — from an intimate set of her most celebrated titles to a comprehensive collection spanning the full breadth of her extraordinary career. Every collection is built around your preferences, and custom jacket design is available in any direction you choose. You are never limited to the examples shown on this page.

A timely note worth knowing: we currently have 50 volumes of Agatha Christie's work, published by Bantam, available in our studio — which significantly reduces the typical lead time for Christie projects. The unjacketed editions shown represent several of these available titles and are the same underlying books used in the jacketed collections pictured.

The Process

Begin by clicking "Get Started with a Deposit" and proceeding to checkout. Within 2 business days, our team will reach out to discuss the number of volumes you'd like, your design preferences, and whether you'd like custom jackets or prefer the books presented without. If you add custom jackets, a designer will develop initial concepts — typically within 1–2 weeks. You'll then receive a comprehensive proposal and design concept outlining the full scope, cost, and timeline. If you choose to proceed, an invoice for the balance is sent before books are acquired and design is finalized. Your deposit is deducted in full from the total project estimate.

Full custom projects vary in cost and lead time depending on scope and title selection.

The deposit is non-refundable, as it covers the labor involved in researching your books and preparing design concepts and proposals.

FAQs

Which Agatha Christie titles can be included in a custom collection?
With 50 Bantam editions currently available in our studio, we have a strong selection of Christie titles ready to work with — spanning her Hercule Poirot novels, Miss Marple mysteries, standalone thrillers, and short story collections. Once your deposit is received, our team will share the full list of currently available titles and work with you to select the ones that belong in your collection. If a specific title you love is not currently in stock, we will research additional sourcing options before your proposal is finalized.

Can I commission a complete Agatha Christie collection, or just a selection of favorites?
Both — and everything in between. Some clients come to us wanting a focused set of eight or ten of Christie's most celebrated titles. Others want the most comprehensive collection we can build. We have fulfilled Christie projects at every scale, and our curators bring genuine knowledge and enthusiasm to every one of them. Tell us what you're imagining and we'll tell you exactly what is possible.

Is a custom Agatha Christie collection a good gift?
For a mystery lover, it may be the ultimate one. Christie's appeal spans generations — she is as beloved by devoted lifelong readers as she is by younger readers discovering her for the first time — and a beautifully curated, custom-jacketed set of her novels makes a gift that is at once deeply personal and immediately beautiful. We have created Christie collections for birthdays, holidays, retirements, and the occasional very good reason to spoil someone who deserves it. Reach out to our team at clientservices@junipercustom.com if you'd like guidance on building the perfect Christie gift — we would love to help.
