Raymond Chandler Folio Society Collection 3rd Impr (2000)
This “Raymond Chandler Folio Society Collection,” from its 3rd impression in 2000, offers a complete set of the author's iconic Philip Marlowe novels in a premium, collector-worthy presentation. The collection typically comprises seven volumes: The Big Sleep, Farewell My Lovely, The High Window, The Lady in the Lake, The Little Sister, The Long Goodbye, and Playback. Each book is usually bound in an illustrated cloth, often grey, adorned with distinctive silver lettering and black silhouette designs of a detective with a smoking gun, evoking the classic noir style synonymous with Chandler's hard-boiled detective fiction. These volumes are housed within a sturdy, matching slipcase, designed to keep the set together and protected.
A key feature of this 2000 Folio Society impression is the inclusion of new illustrations by Geoff Grandfield, which add a fresh visual dimension to Chandler's gritty narratives. Each volume typically includes a frontispiece and a selection of full-page and in-text illustrations that capture the smoky atmosphere and complex characters of Marlowe's world. This set is a testament to the Folio Society's commitment to producing beautifully made books that are both aesthetically pleasing and enduring, making it a highly desirable acquisition for fans of Raymond Chandler, classic crime fiction, and fine press editions.
