CHANDLER, Raymond

The High Window

New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 1942. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Tan cloth with brown lettering. 240pp. Very good. Faint binding edgewear, else tight and internally quite nice. Lacks jacket, else a tight and decent first edition of the third novel featuring Chandler's L.A. detective Philip Marlowe -- and bearing two choice, relevant autograph additions: Tipped to front pastedown are signatures of the two leading men who portrayed him in film versions of this novel! At top is LLOYD NOLAN, who boldly signs a heavy stock 5" X 3" card in black ballpoint, dating it 26 November 1984 at upper right. Fine. Below this is an irregularly-trimmed, roughly oval 4¼" X 3" slip boldly signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint by GEORGE MONTGOMERY: "Best Wishes / to Donald Burnell / George Montgomery." Very good. Small tape stain at upper and lower margin, barely touching upon a couple of letters. Nolan (1902-85) was a reliable cops-and-robbers actor who played Marlowe (renamed Michael Shayne here) in the 1942 "Time to Kill," and Montgomery (1916-2000) was a prolific actor remembered for Westerns who played Marlowe in the 1947 film noir "The Brasher Doubloon." Laid in is the ideal bookmark: Nolan's original transmittal envelope with recipient's name/address in his hand. Most unusual copy. .
