It doesn't look like this is out in Canada yet, but I'll get
it as soon as I see it. Who could pass up Chandler's drunken,
late-night ramblings to a Mexican secretary? Interesting to
see Chandler's two biographers collaborating, too.
From what the review says, though, the collection of
Hammett's letters that William Nolan and Jo Hammett are doing
will probably be much better. I'm really looking forward to
that.
