1943 Raymond Chandler “Farewell, My Lovely” Philip Marlowe First edition
$38.00
“Farewell, My Lovely” by Raymond Chandler, published 1943 by Pocket. Second appearance of the protagonist Philip Marlowe, after “The Big Sleep”, in novel form.
First edition, first ever appearance in paperback form.
This is a “good plus” paperback with a solid, albeit cocked spine. No loose, torn or folded pages. No writing. Back cover and lower spine have an approximate 2″ split. 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 writing career.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
