5.0 out of 5 starsInformative & Entertaining (Real or Armchair) Tour of Hammett Sites in San Francisco.
By mirasreviews HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on October 20, 2009
Format: Hardcover
Don Herron has been guiding Hammett fans around San Francisco on his Dashiell Hammett Tour since 1977, and his book allows tourists to do the self-guided thing or to enjoy Herron's in-depth knowledge and anecdotes from afar. This thirtieth anniversary edition, published in hardback as part of Vince Emery Productions' "Ace Performer Collection", includes a preface by Dashiell Hammett's daughter Jo, in which she recalls the first time she took the tour, and an introduction by crime novelist Charles Willeford, who advises comfortable walking shoes and some knowledge of Hammett's work before embarking on the tour. This hardback edition may not be the most practical for stuffing in your pocket and setting off to explore the streets of San Francisco, but it is great for reading.

"The Dashiell Hammett Tour" doesn't read like a typical tourbook, which tend not to be very exciting unless you are there. Fans who have never been to San Francisco will find plenty to like. Herron always has something interesting to say. He begins with a 46-page biography of Hammett. There are 30 sites on the tour, plus 9 off-tour sites, that featured either in Hammett's life or in his fiction. (Three of Hammett's novels, including "The Maltese Falcon", and most of his short stories were set in San Francisco.) The entries for each site are a combination of biography, literary criticism, and personal experiences. I've read several Hammett biographies, all of his fiction, and some criticism, and Herron was still able to tell me some things I didn't know.

There are black-and-white photos throughout, new and old, so we can see what the sites looked like when Dashiell Hammett lived in the city, 1921-1929. There are a few maps for walking the tour and for driving it.Read more ›

Some writers become popular, and others get cult fandoms. "The Dashiell Hammett Tour: Thirtieth Anniversary Guidebook" is a look into the life of Dashiell Hammett, author of famed mysteries such as the 'The Maltese Falcon'. Examining locations throughout San Francisco and their relation to both Hammett and his creations, with a focus on famed fictional detective Sam Spade, "The Dashiell Hammett Tour" is a must-have for any fan of Hammett's work.
