Thanks for this. I went to their web site to see if they
mentiond a paperback edition (Us $63 is a lot of money) and
found this:

"The volume begins with a chronology that highlights the
major events in Hammett's life. The bulk of the book
comprises alphabetically arranged entries for Hammett's
works, characters, family members, and acquaintances. Some of
the entries cite sources of additional information, and the
volume concludes with a brief bibliography. While the
reference is first and foremost a guide to Hammett, it is
also a helpful aid to the study of the development of the
American hard-boiled detective novel."
It's US $80, and was published last year. Looks really
interesting.
