Book Reviews of Nightmare Town
Book Review: Beware of What Edition You Buy
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm giving this book three stars because, in my view, Hammett's writing is always superb. However, a strong caveat - the Amazon review system does not clearly distinguish between various editions of this work. I was looking forward to reading the Sam Spade short stories, and early versions of the Thin Man so you can imagine my disappointment (and returning books from NZ is a hassle) that the edition I purchased (the Boomer Books effort) contains none of those items.
