DEDICATION: "This collection is dedicated by Philip José
Farmer to the brave men of SF, who have worked so tirelessly
to
see that this book could see print: Rick Beaulieu, Jason Robert Bell,
Charles Berlin, Christopher Carey, Mike Croteau, Keith Howell, Craig
Kimber, Tracy Knight, Paul Spiteri, Mario Zecca. All true fans and
friends of Philip José Farmer."
Alas, for unknown reasons in the final edition four names of "the
brave men of SF" were omitted from the
list: Lee J. Barrie, Roger Crombie, Win Eckert and Zacharias Nuninga,
who are also true fans and friends of Farmer! |

COVER TEXT:
An
outstanding and unique collection from an outstanding and unique
talent. Philip José Farmer, three time Hugo winner and
Nebula
Grand Master in 2001, has written exciting and provocative fiction
since his debut, the ground breaking "The Lovers," stunned the SF
community in 1952. Pearls
from Peoria
assembles over sixty previously uncollected pieces of fiction,
nonfiction, poetry and autobiography that demonstrate the extraordinary
range and vitality of Philip José Farmer's imagination. Many
of
the pieces appear here for the first time anywhere, while others have
previously appeared only in small run magazines that have remained
elusive and avidly sought after by Farmer aficionados.
