But Dood Runs Faster – Dutch Detective Covers

Phoebe Atwood Taylor, Het Mysterie van den Koperen Ring, 1939
cover artist unknown
from the collection of twincovercollector

Last year I featured covers from the collections of brothers Uilke (uk vintage) & Hillebrand (twincovercollector) in the post Dood in Ecstasy – Dutch Mystery Covers. Since then they’ve uploaded hundreds more (and created a flickr group for Dutch illustrators), and I had a blast combing their collections again for this sequel.
