Its title comes from detective Philip Marlowe's musing at the end: "What did it matter where you lay once you are dead? In a dirty dump or in a marble tower on top a high hill? You were dead, your were sleeping the big sleep..." Bruccoli A.1.1.a; Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone.
Octavo. Original cloth (minute wear to cloth, a little darkening at head of spine); pictorial dust jacket (restoration at edges and folds, chipping to spine panel ends repaired just touching lettering); custom box.
