Edited by Byron Preiss, Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe: a Centennial Celebration (ISBN 0-394-57327-7) is an anthology of short stories collected for the centenary of Raymond Chandler's birth, in 1988. Containing 23 stories by such noted crime-writers as Max Allan Collins, Sara Paretsky, Loren D. Estleman, Stuart M.
