James Rogers isn't hallucinating or confused. There IS a book
called CHANDLERTOWN by Edward Thorpe that is similar in
concept to RAYMOND CHANDLER'S LOS ANGELES by Ward and Silver.
CHANDLERTOWN is a smaller book but it contains much more
critical analysis (and fewer photos) than R.C.'s L.A. It also
hit the stands about four years earlier than the larger
book.
As companion pieces to RAYMOND CHANDLER IN HOLLYWOOD I can
recommend RAYMOND CHANDLER IN FILM by William Luhr which was
published in 1982 by Frederick Unger Publishing and RAYMOND
CHANDLER ON SCREEN: HIS NOVELS INTO FILM by Stephen Pendo
published by Scarecrow Press in 1976.
It seems these concepts have to be tried out a few times by
smaller publishers before they get the big slick
treatment.
I doubt the original authors get anything for coming up with
the ideas first.

P.S. - Of course there is also RAYMOND CHANDLER SPEAKING, a
collection of his letters edited by Dorothy Gardiner and
Katherine Walker if you want to hear what the man has to say
about it all himself.
