1957500113<p>"Ray" on light blue personal 6925 Neptune Place letterhead La Jolla June 3 1957. 4to. 2 pages on separate leaves stapled together. To Edgar N. Carter at N.H. Swanson Company in West Hollywood: "Would it make any difference to a TV deal if I agreed to write the dialogue not the story -- only I suppose what you could call a polish job. Of course the writer would loathe me. I must make it clear that any work I should do would on be done in any TV studio since it might be from Tahiti or Tasmania. I understand that changes might be made because some actor might say "This line just isn't me" or some director might like George Marshall have an itching pencil. I ought to have something to say about who is to play the part. I think the actor is more important than the summer radio shot. I think you have the job of convincing these lauatics that if a show is to last it must cost not too much and must have some sort of special quality. Marlowe is a character of some nobility of scorching wit sad but not defeated lonely but never really sure of himself. It is impossible to think that such a man would not have a sex life but so many writers of this sort of story have made it too blatant and too vulgar. Marlowe would get almost any woman into bed with him by a certain obscure technique which depends almost entirely on making a woman feel that you respect her. Some of this has to go into Philip Marlowe if his is to be any good. If it is not possible to achieve this I think we should forget the whole thing. After all a great many writers have been trying to steal him from me for 15 years and they have never done it yet".</p> unknown books

Bookplate of V.M. Turnbull inside front board suggests this copy may have belonged to the owner of the famous collection now held by the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge. Bookplate of Hugh John McLean upon front free endpaper. [6], 387 pages. All six plates present. "Includes several minor and supplementary series, viz., one of about two hundred anonymous plates which it has not been found possible to identify; Royal plates; plates of Universities, Colleges and Schools; Premium or school-prize plates; plates of Ecclesiastical, Parochial, and Public Libraries; Naval and Military and Legal and Medical plates; with those of City Companies and Public Offices, Booksellers, and Circulating Libraries. The volume also furnishes notes of a few family plates supplementary to the main series: these have for the most part been discovered in and transferred from the Foreign portion of the testator's collection. Last comes a Heraldic Index to all those plates which, although anonymous, have been identified and inserted in their proper alphabetical places in the main collection." - from Preface. The entire catalogued Franks bequest contained 35,098 plates. Above-average wear to publisher's black cloth. Binding intact. Innumerable small light pencil marginal tick marks beside items of interest. Intriguing light pencil annotation beside item 32550A, a reproduction of a James Worsley plate, on page 319 reads "a copy of the original is in my collection", possibly adding further weight to the suggested provenance of this volume.
