Raymond Chandler's own copy of "Bang to Rights" by Frank Norman for which he wrote the Foreword and with Chandler's ownership stamp and inscriptions

Beschreibung

London: Secker & Warburg, 1958. First Edition, First Printing. Publisher's cloth, in original dust jacket: a fine copy overall with some minor wear to the jacket along spine and corners. An ink notation on the rear endpaper mentions Norman's death in 1981. Foreword by Raymond Chandler. With Chandler's stamp ("Raymond Chandler / 824 Prospect / La Jolla, California") on both the dust jacket and front flyleaf which also bears his ink notation "From Graham and Secker and Warburg." Raymond Chandler has provided the foreword to this memoir by Frank Norman, who after five stints in prison went on to write plays and mysteries. In the foreword, Chandler describes Norman's writing as "no damned literary nonsense" and has underlined in blue ink that because of his experiences "he is a potentially dangerous man." Chandler did not contribute to many books in his career in this manner. With a perfect record of provenance from the Jean Vounder-Davis Collection of Raymond Chandler.
