Mystery Omnibus: The Big Sleep and Farewell My Lovely by Raymond Chandler (Rare 1944 Forum Books Hardcover First Printing)
The first omnibus edition of any of Chandler's books, collecting his first two novels, and pre-dating the Black Widow Thriller edition of either title by one year.
The Big Sleep introduced the world to Philip Marlowe, the often imitated but never-bettered hard-boiled private investigator. It is in Marlowe’s long shadow that every fictional detective must stand – and under the influence of Raymond Chandler’s addictive prose that every crime author must write.
Also includes Farewell, My Lovely, crime fiction master Raymond Chandler’s second novel featuring Philip Marlowe, the “quintessential urban private eye” (Los Angeles Times).
