A Real Life Landmark Map Of Raymond Chandler’s LA

We don't know much about map buying in downtown LA. But what we do know is that it requires parting with cash in exchange for a handful of addresses of A-list Hollywood stars, which probably aren't their real addresses anyway.

Thankfully for fans of Raymond Chandler, and anyone not after a restraining order, this is a good deal better than that. Created by writer and historian Kim Cooper with help from London-based design group Herb Lester Associates, this fantastic map plots rare points of interest of Chandler’s work.

The Long GoodbyeThe Lady In The Lake - 

Costing just £4 and designed like the sort of map you could imagine Chandler furiously scribbling over as he penned his intrigue-laced plots, it's worth buying whatever city you're in.

He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
