Re: RARA-AVIS: Chandler bibliography
How can "The Bronze Door"'s publisher be "Unknown?"
*Finger Man* (1950) (Avon 219), a paperback collection w/o exact
cloth-bound precedent, contains "Finger Man," "The Bronze Door," "The
Smart-Aleck Kill," and "The Simple Art of Murder." Now, the credits are
not very specific for "The Bronze Door," but the book does at least give
Street & Smith Publications as publisher, and that seems better than
"Unknown." This is a minor point, I realize.
I wonder if it's possible in a biblio of Chandler to account for paperback
history as well as cloth-bound. Michael
