Stories and early novels by
Raymond Chandler(
Book

17 editions published between 1939 and 2014 in English and held by 2,128 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This volume includes 13 of the stories written by American novelist and screenwriter Raymond Chandler (1888-1959), that were not included in any of his full-length novels. Typically, his short stories chronicle the cases of Philip Marlowe and other down-on-their-luck private detectives or Good Samaritans.

This work also contains a newly researched chronology of Chandler's life, explanatory notes, and an essay on the texts
