Printers' Pie

Printers' Pie was a series of publications in the U.K. put out seasonally and on festive occasions from the 1900s to the 1930s, 1940s and probably the 1950s. The frequency was irregular. Those that came out near Christmas were called Christmas Pie or Winter's Pie. At other times there would be Spring Pie and Summer Pie. Issues typically contained a selection of short stories and articles with illustrations and coloured plates. A 1905 issue stated on the cover that the publication was "A festival souvenir of the Printers' Pension Corporation" and that it was an offering to charity.

The Dec 1939 issue, titled Christmas Pie carried Agatha Christie's short story SOS.
