Ed, re you post below:
"Sorry. I misunderstood--I thought we had scheduled the essay
rather
than the collection. Apologies for any confusion my previous
post may
have caused.
There is a set of Chandler stories out in Penguin (all the
novels, and
about four short story collections) that are currently
available in the
UK. None of these, as far as I recall, has more than about
half a dozen
things in. I suspect that the original _Simple Art of Murder_
is split
between a couple of the Penguin collections."
In the UK, there was a hardback Chandler short story
collection called
*The Smell of Fear*. It contains all (or most) of the short
stories
in *TSAM*, plus "The Pencil" (the last Marlowe short story).
The main
difference are that in four of the stories ("Finger Man,"
"Red Wind,"
"Goldfish," and "Trouble Is My Business") the main character
is named
Philip Marlowe in *TSAM* and is called by the original pulp
magazine
names of either Caromody or John Dalmas in *The Smell of
Fear*. - Jim
