About this Item

On offer is a comprehensive collection based on the writings of Raymond Chandler brought together over the last forty years. The collection includes mostly fine original publications of thirteen of the twenty-four stories the author published in different magazines like Black Mask or Dime Detective including two complete UK editions of Black Mask (1935 & 1936), over thirty first editions of Chandler's books, many in fine condition in fine (dust) wrappers, original publications in various magazines; a superb 1957 autograph postcard to his publisher Hamish Hamilton, discussing Marlowe's marriage to the "8 million dollar girl" (see picture), various original editions of photographs, unique scripts, his letters, notes and papers; four books from Chandler's own library; a fascinating selection of books and writers mentioned in the Marlowe novels including a first edition of "Prufrock", the rarest of T.S. Eliot's items; works on Chandler; some movies, comics and memorabilia. While we intend to sell the collection as a whole, we are willing to part with some items that may catch your interest. You can view a fully illustrated catalogue (and e.g. enjoy photographs of all the original covers of all the stories) at ygrbooks.ch. It is with great sadness that we have to notify book-lovers from the USA that we cannot send you any books you might be interested in by regular post. We are forced by your current regime to use FedEx Swiss Post GmbH where prices start at CHF 60. Also, you will have to pay customs before we send any parcels to you. Please accept our apologies, but you voted for HIM, so that is where we are. Printing of the Mind of Woman or Man has become most undesirable in the USA.
