The Smell of Fear by Raymond Chandler | First Edition 1965
The price of this book on Abebooks has most prices $85 to $450
Raymond Thornton Chandler was an American novelist and screenwriter.
Fourteen Stories. Great cover art! Contains: Blackmailers Don't Shoot, Pearls are a Nuisance, Finger Man, The King in Yellow, Smart-Aleck Kill, Pick-Up on Noon Street, Nevada Gas, Spanish Blood, Trouble is My Business, Red Wind, I'll be Waiting, Goldfish, Guns at Cyrano, The Pencil.
This is the first hardcover printing of THE PENCIL, that featured Philip Marlowe. Also includes an Introduction by Raymond Chandler.
In 1932, at age forty-four, Raymond Chandler decided to become a detective fiction writer after losing his job as an oil company executive during the Depression. His first short story, "Blackmailers Don't Shoot", was published in 1933 in Black Mask, a popular pulp magazine. His first novel, The Big Sleep, was published in 1939. In addition to his short stories, Chandler published just seven full novels during his lifetime (though an eighth in progress at his death was completed by Robert B. Parker). All but Playback have been realized into motion pictures, some several times. In the year before he died, he was elected president of the Mystery Writers of America. He died on March 26, 1959, in La Jolla, California.
Chandler had an immense stylistic influence on American popular literature, and is considered by many to be a founder, along with Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain and other Black Mask writers, of the hard-boiled school of detective fiction. Chandler's Philip Marlowe, along with Hammett's Sam Spade, are considered by some to be synonymous with "private detective," both having been played on screen by Humphrey Bogart, whom many considered to be the quintessential Marlowe.

Binding: Hard cover with dust jacket

Book Condition: Ex-library. See photos. Tape on cover. Water mark on the inside of the dust jacket which has a section missing from the top of the spine. There is a library number on the date page and a library paper has been removed from one of the early pages. I have tried to take photos of the defects. 

Edition: First Edition. Published by Hamish Hamilton, 1965
