<<It doesn't have all of them, but it may be argued
that it has most of
the best ones. There are others in Killer in the Rain, which
is a
compilation of the stories Chandler later cannibalized in the
creation
of his first four novels.>>
A pity they didn't include those. As I've mentioned before in
this list,
_Killer in the Rain_ was my introduction to Chandler many
years ago.
Those stories are very good, and some of them are arguably
better than
the novels into which they were weaved or sewn. I guess I'm
not getting
rid of my copy of _Killer in the Rain_ any time soon (it has
a great
cover, too, and a good intro by Philip Durham with some
background on
these "lost" stories).
