Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Second printing of the second UK edition, published in December 1949. The book was first published in the UK in October 1940, with a second impression in March 1941, and a third impression in December 1946. The book was then reset and issued in a smaller format in 1949, with this copy being the first reprint of that edition (as stated on the printer's page). ***A very good copy in scarlet cloth-covered boards with black titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked, but please note that there is a light crease at the bottom corner of the front board, and a dent to the middle of the spine (please see scans). Head and tail of spine slightly creased. Corners sharp. Page block edges slightly marked. A slight reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good, with no inscriptions. Interior pages clean. No creases or tears. ***In a good only illustrated pictorial dustwrapper, which is largely complete, apart from a portion of loss at the bottom of the spine. The dustwrapper is unclipped and retains the original publisher's printed price of 6s. net. There is general edge wear and some loss at the top of the spine also, with associated closed tears. The front inner flap has some marks and a vertical crease (please see scans). The colours of the dustwrapper are still vibrant and unfaded - just slightly browned on the spine. ***190mm x 127mm. 196 pages. ***'Events moved there with a dizzy speed - strange, tough, dramatic events. Mr. Raymond Chandler is particularly good at this sort of thing - perhaps better than any of his predecessors - and "Farewell, My Lovely" will disappoint nobody who enjoyed "The Big Sleep". (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Raymond Thornton Chandler (July 23, 1888 - March 26, 1959) was an American-Britigsh novelist and screenwriter. In 1932, at the age of forty-four, Chandler became a detective fiction writer after losing his job as an oil company executive during the Great Depression. Chandler had an immense stylistic influence on American popular literature. He is a founder of the hardboiled school of detective fiction, along with Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain and other Black Mask writers. The protagonist of his novels, Philip Marlowe, like Hammett's Sam Spade, is considered by some to be synonymous with "private detective". Both were played in films by Humphrey Bogart, whom many consider to be the quintessential Marlowe. ***"Farewell, My Lovely" is a novel by Raymond Chandler, published in 1940, the second novel he wrote featuring the Los Angeles private eye Philip Marlowe. It was adapted for the screen three times and was also adapted for the stage and radio. Chandler worked on the book from June to December 1939, before destroying the entire typescript and starting again. He completed the novel in the spring of 1940. "Farewell, My Lovely", like many of Chandler's novels, was written by what he called cannibalising previous short stories - taking short stories and altering them to fit together as a novel. This practice is sometimes known as a fix-up. In this case the three stories were "Try the Girl", "Mandarin's Jade" and "The Man Who Liked Dogs"'. (Wiki) ***An early post-war edition of this iconic Raymond Chandler title, in the original dustwrapper. ***'For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
