Description: For auction are six previously read paperback editions of Dashiell Hammett books. "Hammett was spare and hard-boiled, but he did over and over what only the best writers ever do. He wrote scenes that seemed never to have been written before." – Raymond Chandler "Hammett’s prose was clean and entirely unique. His characters were as sharply drawn and economically defined as any in American fiction. His gift of invention never tempted him beyond the limits of credibility." - The New York Times STORY COLLECTIONS: (original copyright date precedes date of paperback edition) The Continental Op - 1923, 1924, 1930, Vintage Books 1992.
