A statue of a Maltese Falcon, just like the one from the 1941 version of the movie, is seen on Sledge's desk.

The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler

 

I have the ugly 1978 movie tie-in paperback with Mitchum. 50 cents. Never read it. It’s funny. Chandler’s language is a little more colorful than Hammett. Certain things in the plot didn’t make it into the movie version, or were obscured, b/c of the moral code. There is an ether scene for one thing. I did have a tendency to hear the dialogue in Bogart’s voice.

More good covers.

First editions on Abe Books highest price page range from $25,000 to $3500. As with Hammett, everything is collectible. There was even an Armed Services paperback edition. Priced at $93. The 1976 edition I have found here for $7.
