Raymond Chandler’s letters are up there with the very best, and by way of the following six excerpts it is my aim to convince you all that he deserves a spot in the Letter Writers Hall of Fame...
I dont know if I can reply to this address, or if Shaun will get my message anyway.
But I think I love him ha ha ha. Ive never met anyone as passionate about letters as I am. What a joy to share his joy, and gorge on his wealth of resources. I dont have much money but boy if I did, Id buy a big house where we both could live. With an entire wing for the LWHOF.
OMG, Shaun, why didn't you tell me to put down my tea first? I snorted with laughter at Chandler's Sci-fi riff, he broke my heart with both the editor's cut and recollection of midwifing the death of a loved one, and the cat? Oh, Lord, yes! Any writer with a cat knows THAT look. Please - a book of Chandler's letters? I vote yes! Definitely a Hall of Fame letter writer. Thanks for this!
Excellent. I love Chandler.
Thank you for sharing very beautiful pieces of the letters. I couldn’t stop crying to read the title piece.

How the hell did he have the name Google and know that it was supposed to know things? Is there some correlation?
