Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Selected Letters of Raymond Chandler (edited by Frank MacShane, 1981) is a curated collection of Chandler s personal correspondence, tracing his growth from a young aspiring writer to the creator of Philip Marlowe. MacShane organizes the letters chro…nologically, beginning with Chandler's early notes from England and Canada, moving through his classic hard-boiled detective-novel years in Hollywood, and ending with his late reflections on craft and life. Brief editorial notes frame each period, highlighting Chandler's struggles with work, loss, and creative passion, while showcasing his characteristic wit, sharp prose judgments, and evolving thoughts on storytelling. Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) was an American born novelist and screenwriter who helped define the hard-boiled detective genre.

Original Wraps. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket, as Issued. First UK Paperback Edition. First impression of the first UK paperback edition - published simultaneously with a hardback edition. With a seven page introduction by the editors. Translated from the Spanish by Frank Macshane. Preceded by the first American edition which…was published by E.P. Dutton in 1973. ***Very good in colour-illustrated card covers. Edges of covers just lightly rubbed and creased. Spine faded. Internally near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean. No foxing. ***198mm x 132 mm. 173 pages including index to rear. ***'In 1971 Borges was invited to preside over a series of seminars on his writing at Columbia University. This book is a record of those seminars, which took the form of informal discussions between Borges, Norman Thomas di Giovanni, his editor and translator, Frank MacShane, head of the department of creative writing at Columbia, and the students. ***The book is divided into three separate sections: on prose, poetry, and translation. ---Borges is probably the supreme verbal craftsman alive today. This book provides a revealing insight into the inspiration and method of his writing. (Quote taken from the back cover) ***First impression of the wrappers issue of the first UK edition. Both the hardcover and wrappers issues are uncommon. ***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.
