: Bill: Could the period assigned to Chandler be extended
until
: January 15th? It's a request for special dispensation
because it's
: Chandler and because the holiday season is in the way. The
Chandler
: stories are so good and so different from one another that
there's
: room for a lot of discussion.
Might as well give him an extra month. That way people will
have more
chance to find the two hard-to-find books, too.
I'm in the middle of "Spanish Blood" and it's just excellent.
It's a
real pleasure to go back and read Chandler.
Here are the contents of the original edition of the book,
_The Simple
Art of Murder_ (Houghton Mifflin, 1950):
* "The Simple Art of Murder"

* "Pick-Up on Noon Street"
* "Goldfish"
* "Red Wind"
* "Nevada Gas"
* "Trouble Is My Business"
All these stories are up.
