By golly, Ben! When I saw the title of this thread, the first thing I thought of was those Raymond Chandler covers from the 70s.

Yes, Pickup on Noon Street is a collection of short stories he wrote, as I recall all of which before he wrote The Big Sleep.

I had the entire collection except one. The Long Goodbye had its cover replaced by one featuring Elliott Gould from the movie (then current, 1974 as I recall). I would have preferred the cover that went with the rest of the series, but it was not available.

PS - Thinking back on it, I think the series artwork was from 1973.
