RARA-AVIS: Chandler bibliography
I got the first of the biblio pages pretty well done last night, and
I'd like to comments from the group, on the format as well as any
corrections you see.
The URL for the Chandler biblio is
http://www.vex.net/~buff/rara-avis/biblio/chandler.html
and I'll include it below for those who don't have web access (the web
version has titles italicized, of course). I also have a W.R. Burnett
one I'm getting looked over. Next I'll probably try Hammett, and go
on from there. If anyone has any bibliographies on a computer or is
willing to do a little typing, I'd love to get a copy for the web
site. Of course, you'd be credited.

Note
Chandler would often cannabilize earlier short stories for novels, and
it can be a strange experience to read the short stories after the
novel. He didn't allow the stories to be collected and printed in his
lifetime, but they show up in Killer in the Rain.
The Big Sleep uses "The Curtain" and "Killer in the Rain." Farewell,
My Lovely uses "The Man Who Liked Dogs," "Try the Girl," and
"Mandarin's Jade." The Lady in the Lake uses "Bay City Blues," "The
Lady in the Lake" and "No Crime in the Mountains."
