Thanks to Bear Manor Media, this book offers reprints of thirteen scripts from THE ADVENTURES OF SAM SPADE. Almost every script originates from a "lost" episode that fans cannot otherwise listen via recording. Some of the earliest episodes are included, revealing the darker side of Sam. A holiday offering from the Steve Dunne season is included, as well as an episode revealing Sam's affections for another woman so strong he was willing to lose his secretary for her. Martin Grams wrote a lengthy essay revealing background concerning each of these scripts and Martin personally read all 240 plus scripts to select what he felt were the thirteen best "lost" episodes of the series. This book is sure to please fans!
