CHANDLER,  Raymond.  FAREWELL,  MY   LOVELY.  New  York:
       Alfred A. Knopf 1940. First Edition. Chandler's second novel,
       a Haycraft-Queen  cornerstone  and basis for two  films:  the
       1944 MURDER,  MY SWEET and the much better 1975 FAREWELL,  MY
       LOVELY  featuring Robert Mitchum in the role of a lifetime as
       Philip  Marlowe. A clean copy but for three store stamps, one
       on the  verso  of the rear free endpaper and two on the  rear
       pastedown.  The dustwrapper is mostly complete except for  an
       inch and  a quarter piece missing at the bottom of the  spine
       and the  top  and bottom edges both trimmed an eighth  of  an
       inch, not  affecting the price or any text. In addition  both
       the front  and rear inside flaps are glued to the pastedowns.
       Very Good   in  a  scarce,   albeit  apologetic  dustwrapper.
                                                            $2000.00
