An early vintage American hardback edition of Raymond Chandler’s classic detective novel “Farewell My Lovely’.

Published by Tower Books in 1946, 3rd printing. The book was originally first published in 1940 by Alfred Knopf and is the second of Chandler’s Philip Marlowe stories. It was made in to a film in 1944.

Complete with its decorative original dustwrapper which is unclipped and no inscriptions.

The dustjacket is worn at the base and top of the spine and the edges. It has a small piece missing from the front cover (see photos).

Apart from minor shelf wear and a little bumping at corners, the green boards are in very good condition with only light fading

The binding is tight. The book pages are age-browned but have no tears or missing pieces and no stains. The endpapers are clean without inscription or foxing stains.

A very good copy of an early vintage 1940s edition of Chandler’s second Philip Marlowe story.
