posted on 2018-03-22, 16:49 authored by Andrew T. DixonThe main purpose of this guide is to help the general
reader who has an interest in the genre [American hard-boiled crime fiction] to find works which will
satisfy that interest. The reader who has already enjoyed the work
of a particular author should be able to discover further works of a
similar type while those who are encountering the field for the
first time should be able to discover the major figures in the genre
by reading Section I and taking the writers detailed there as their
starting point. It is hoped that this work would also be of use as
a reference work for those intending to start a collection of first
editions of this type of material or as a reference to what works
are currently available in the UK. [Continues.]
