THE LONG GOODBYE
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1954. First Edition. Hardcover. Octavo. Original green and blue cloth binding, with dark green-stamped titling. A nice copy, with a tiny bit of fading along the spine. The dust jacket ($3.00) is a little edgeworn, with some faint staining to the spine heel; otherwise very good.
The master of noir’s most ambitious and self-revealing novel, which uncovers a more anguished resonance in the Philip Marlowe character, in a plot that hinges on the betrayal of friendship and the compromises of middle age. Very good / Very good. Item #80236
