Raymond Chandler “Farewell, My Lovely” Chandler’s 2nd Philip Marlowe novel 1st time in paperback
$34.00
“Farewell, My Lovely” by Raymond Chandler, published 1944 by Pocket. Second appearance of the protagonist Philip Marlowe, after “The Big Sleep”, in novel form.
First edition, 6th printing (early).
This is a “good plus” or better paperback with a solid, albeit cocked spine. No loose, torn or folded pages. No writing. Back cover rather rubbed and faded. Covers show a fair amount of creasing. Internally, pages are of quality paper – rather unusual for the period – and are nice and bright.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Considered to be one of the “big four” novels of Mr. Chandler’s career.

Thriller vintage paperback “The Shadow Man” 1966 Badger Books classic camp!
$45.00
This is a "near fine" vintage paperback published in Great Britain in 1966 by Badger Books.
Edition is not indicated.
This book is "as new" having no signs it has ever been read. I have seen "new" books in Barnes and Nobles that are not as nice as this little gem! The only real flaw to call out is a light dent in the upper front cover spine corner.
