Lansdale, Joe R. - "Farmer's Tyger, Burning Bright"
A very warm introduction about Philip José Farmer and his
writing: «Sometimes his prose felt dashed off, his ideas not full
formed, but at his best, which was much of the time, he wrote
beautifully, and interestingly. There were more ideas in a few pages of
a Farmer work than were usually presented in volumes by other
writers.». And also a warm welcome to the novel at hand: «I
love it. I Recommend it. It is a lucky experience for any discerning
reader.»

Lansdale, Joe R. - "Phil & Bette Farmer, Jack London, a Wife
and
a Baby, a Clean Well Lighted Hotel Room"
Lansdale, who then already was a fan of Phil's work, met the Farmers at
the start of his own writing career. Like the books before, the meeting
also made a big impression on Lansdale.

Lansdale, Joe R. - "Philip
José Farmer: The Man with the Electric Brain"
Introduction about the author ("...He is even better than we think he
is..."), his writings ("...He's stunning. And he's fun..."), and his
role in the science fiction history ("...Before Farmer science fiction
was a neutered field. Farmer opened the door, so to speak, and pretty
soon others came through...").
