diagrams make planning the pacing of each ride an easy task, even
for the beginner. Extra information includes an introduction to the
area of the route, nearest railway stations, places of interest
with descriptions, guides to refreshment stops, and clear
indications of distance, grade and terrain.The books are

peoples.'

Few writers are as inextricably linked with a city as Raymond
Chandler and Los Angeles. The neon-lit streets, mobbed-up joints
and seedy rooming houses portrayed in his fiction were real places,
familiar to Angelenos of the time, and in some cases recognisable
today. This is a guide to the world of Raymond Chandler and his
noble alter-ego, the private detective Philip Marlowe. It mixes
locations from the books, the films and Chandler's personal life.
There's the crummy dive where Moose Malloy went looking for Velma;
the actual lounge where Marlowe and Terry Lennox ordered gimlets;
the top-floor suite where oil executive Chandler got his priceless
education in how a dirty, sun-drenched city really operated. This
is the Los Angeles that Raymond Chandler carried in his heart. And
now, you can too.
