Raymond Chandler: The Library of America Edition Review: Value! - Excellent collection .. Just as described! Review: Raymond Chandler the master writer - Raymond Chandler is one, if not the best, detective noir writers. Inspired by Dashielle Hammett, Chandler turns the genre up a notch-or-two. Talk about a descriptive writer! Even though his stories take place in the late-1930s, his ability to describe a scene paints a very vivid picture of L.A.'s seedy life during that time period. Lots of games, booze, cigarettes, and gun play. Who was worse, the hood or the cop on the take. His short-stories and novels are hard to put down once you get started. This came as a two-volume set and contains all of Chandler's works and was published by The Library of America. I was able to purchase this used via desertcart. Goodwill Industries was the selling agent and was listed as 'good condition'. However, to my amazement, it was brand new, and the price was more than half the original asking price. If you are into this genre, I would highly recommend this set. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #542,375 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #782 in Mystery Anthologies (Books) #15,222 in Cozy Mysteries (Books) #25,008 in American Literature (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (131) | | Dimensions | 5.4 x 3.1 x 8.5 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1598533193 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1598533194 | | Item Weight | 3 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 2275 pages | | Publication date | March 6, 2014 | | Publisher | Library of America | ## Images ![Raymond Chandler: The Library of America Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nZWCV+gdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value! *by S***P on September 26, 2025* Excellent collection ..

Excellent writing, superb storytelling and vivid characterizations of Southern California, and particularly LA in the late 30' though the early the 50's. As a child, I lived in the many of the areas Chandler wrote about, and his descriptions of the sites, sounds, smells, life styles, manner of dress, social structure and manner of speaking brought back many childhood memories. His plots tend to be complex; he's a great read for those who enjoy trying to solve mysteries, as well as those who just like to go with the flow of the story. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1357261-raymond-chandler-the-library-of-america-edition](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1357261-raymond-chandler-the-library-of-america-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
