The Long Good-Bye

Descripción

The Long Good-Bye, Raymond Chandler, Hamish Hamilton, 1953, First Edition, First Impression Adapted into a film in 1973 starring Elliot Gould and winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel in 1955, this is the sixth and last of the full-length novels that Chandler wrote featuring his iconic detective, Philip Marlowe. This is the author's most personal novel, written whilst his wife was dying. He based two of the book's characters on himself, highlighting awareness of his own flaws - his alcoholism and his doubts about the value of his writing. Preceding the US First Edition, this is the First Edition, First Impression of this work. The book is in very good condition. The binding is straight and tight, the boards clean and the silver gilt lettering on the spine is sharp. There is slight shelf wear to the top and bottom edges of the spine. The end papers and pages are clean without marks or tears. The very rare unclipped dust jacket, protected in a clear removable cover, is in fair condition with loss to the top and bottom corners of the front and back cover, the top and bottom edges of the spine and the edge of the back cover. There is a tear to the bottom edge of the back cover. Not seen often and very rarely with a dust jacket this volume would make a valuable edition to a library or a wonderful gift. Will be dispatched, fully insured, tracked and signed, carefully wrapped in bubblewrap and in a cardboard box. N° de ref. del artículo 01366
