Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. FIRST PRINTING. "Here is a volume that generations of readers have longed for-the first-ever selection from the letters of Dashiell Hammett, the onetime private detective who, in five astonishing books written between 1927 and 1933, invented the modern American crime novel. Hammett was not only the founding member of the hardboiled school, he also was its greatest practitioner, and even after Chandler and all the rest, his body of work remains the solid-gold standard. The best of his work is literature-without the quotation marks. Though Hammett's work has long been world-famous, the writer's private life has always been obscure. Now his biographer, Richard Layman, and his granddaughter, Julie M. Rivett, have gathered a treasure trove of Hammett's correspondence, almost all of it from private collections, almost all of it previously unpublished." 650 pages. Save for some slight arching to spine, common in this book due to size/weight, A FINE COPY! LF.

Book First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. First Printing. A FINE, bright, clean, tight, scholar/collector-worthy copy. Nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for 2002. "The Maltese Falcon,' "The Glass Key," " The Thin Man"-the novels of Dashiell Hammett are world-famous, their hardboiled characters a part of the American psyche. but unlike most of our great writers, the man himself has remained private, elusive. Now his biographer, Richard Layman, and his granddaughter, Julie M. Rivett, have gathered a treasure trove of Hammett's letters, almost all of them from private collections, almost all of them previously unpublished. "Reading them," writes Diane Johnson, "is the closest we can come to knowing the enigmatic, mild author of those powerful, original novels." Here, in his own words, is Hammett the family man, distant but devoted, late with the check but never too late; Hammett the student of political affairs, scanning the headlines from a Marxist perspective; Hammett the lover of Lillian Hellman, delighting in her style, her humor, and her accomplishments, yet always maintaining his life apart from hers. Celebrity, soldier, activist, survivor-Hammett was each in turn. But he was always, above all else, a writer, the master of a spare, conversational American style." 650 pages. Dick Lochte's Los Angeles Times DJ blurb exults: "The key revelations are personal: self-portraits of the author as doting father, unremitting drunk, self-educated intellectual, committed Marxist, patriot, soft touch, seducer, and romantic." NOTE: Due to size/weight of the book additonal shipping cost will be required for out-of-U.S. shipment. GH4.

Book
Hardback with dustjacket. This work is compiled of the letters, both private and professional, of Dashiell Hammett, creator of Sam Spade. In his five great crime novels, all of them written between 1927 and 1935, Dashiell Hammett gave America a cast of immortal characters - Sam Spade, the Continental Op, and Nick and Nora Charles, mold-breaking, red-blooded alternatives to Sherlock Holmes and Lord Peter Wimsey. A popular writer from the start, he aspired to a higher goal. As he was working on his classic The Maltese Falcon, he wrote a letter to his publisher about the potential of the detective-story form: Someday somebody's going to make literature out of it.
