Follow the drop-down menu to check out covers and data on some of the books most associated with Don. All editions of The Dashiell Hammett Tour Book currently are out-of-print, but anyone interested can track down copies — as well as other o.p. titles such as Willeford, The Dark Barbarian or The Literary World of San Francisco — on ABEbooks and other sites. Some of the titles are still fairly inexpensive, others have begun cloaking themselves in collector’s dollars. Only the recent Arkham House Ephemera: The Classic Years remains available new in a print edition. The texts of several titles are available on the cheap as eBooks.
Welcome to a hard-boiled and not without noir blog with news and reviews, occasional outbursts of maniacal Autograph Hound activity, plus archival records from the forty-five year run of The Dashiell Hammett Tour.
