Book reprints?

[arbogast777]

Just a quick question for anyone who might remember...

I could have sworn I found a site awhile back that sold books (film noir, maybe?) in their original hardcover form. For some reason I have a picture of "The Big Sleep" hardcover in my head. Googling has done nothing - does anybody remember what that company was???

I'm not sure if this is what you're thinking of, but The Everyman's Library has a hardcover book that collects The Big Sleep; Farewell, My Lovely; and The High Window in one volume.

After digging a little deeper, it looks like Reader's Digest, under it's "ImPress Mysteries" label, publishes a series called "The Best Mysteries of All Time." A hardcover version of "The Big Sleep" was released by them in 2002:

Here's a list of the books in this series:
