Raymond Chandler in Double Indemnity

For those who are interested: this site (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/jun/05/raymond-chandler-double-indemnity-cameo) has a picture of Raymond Chandler as he appears in the film Double Indemnity:
Now, however, more than 60 years after its release, a French cinema historian and two US crime-writers almost simultaneously happened on the same bizarre discovery - that Raymond Chandler, uncredited and previously unnoticed, has a tiny cameo in Double Indemnity. . . . [T]here he is, 16 minutes into the movie, sitting outside an office as Fred MacMurray walks past. Chandler glances up at MacMurray from a paperback he is reading, in hindsight a rather obvious clue about the true identity of this extra. Sadly, it is impossible to determine what the book is as the film briskly moves on and Chandler vanishes.
