Descripción

First edition thus. Wrappers, 8vo. Thick pulp-magazine-like format. Anthology of Raymond Chandler's novels, with added content (map of Los Angeles, Raymond Chandler's Hollywood, movie stills, etc.). English cover (rear cover Japanese style) with Artzybasheff art modified from the jacket for The Little Sister. Japanese cover with portrait of a Chandler femme fatale. Japanese cover chipped at corners, spine chipped, mainly along lower left portion. English titles were typed on a small piece of semitransparent rice paper and glued to the cover, now mostly worn away. Pages somewhat browned. No corresponding English-language edition. We found in WorldCat some numbers apparently of the same series and time period (early 1950s) but with a slight name change, the last character being different; the lowest number was 3. No copies in WorldCat, so far as we could determine, e.g., not even in the National Diet Library. Japanese characters of the series title can be sent on request. N° de ref. del artículo 4495
