While observing Geiger's store in the Sternwood case Marlowe walks into a little bookstore where the bookseller (a young dark-haired woman with glasses) counters his query ("Would you have a Ben Hur, 1860, Third edition, with the duplicated line on page one-sixteen?") with the knowledge that there was no edition like that.
According to film critic David Thomson the bookseller is acting like a little whore (taking off the glasses, drinking whiskey with the man who calls himself "a private dick" and badging the sex time with Marlowe as "nice two hours" that end with an unsealed "So long").
Thus, this could be layer for an intellectual porn story in a book environment with some appeal to Raymond Jean's novel "La lectrice".
I ponder about the image of the "bookish whore" who likes to fuck and blow and to be fucked and licked on the desk and beween the book shelves.
