CHANDLER, Raymond (1888-1959). The Lady in the Lake. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1943.

A presentation copy of the first edition, in dust jacket, inscribed by Chandler: “for my sweet and lovely Louise, who is not at all like any of the ladies in this book. / Ray / La Jolla, Sept 30, 1956.” The recipient may be Louise Loughner, an admirer from San Francisco with whom Chandler struck up a steamy epistolary romance in 1955-56 after his suicide attempt (they only met in person once). The novel, set in a fictional version of the resort town of Big Bear, California, is the fourth in the Philip Marlowe series and a quintessential example of Chandler’s witty, tough-minded style. Bruccoli A4.1.a.

Octavo (190 x 128mm). Original green cloth; original dust jacket (minor edgewear and faint staining); slipcase. Provenance: Louise [Loughner] (presentation inscription).
