Last
message here, new web adres
The
Philip
José Farmer International Bibliography
is twenty years old. It was build on the webspace I got from my
internet provider, xs4all.nl. Nothing wrong with that, the provider
gave me lots of space. I still did not use all the space I got. While
the website has now more than 450 pages and many thousands of cover
scans.
The address of the website, https://rnuninga.home.xs4all.nl, was not
easy to remember however. So I used a referring web address, which was
much easier to use: www.philipjosefarmer.tk. I could not host the
website in that domain.
I wanted to have the website hosted, but it never came to that. Mostly
because the address I wanted, www.philipjosefarmer.com, had already
been claimed. Much to my surprise, when I checked again recently, that
web address was free. Time for me to claim it and make the change that
I did.
From now on you'll find the bibliography on the new address. It will
also stay on this old address for a while, but not updated anymore.

Swords
of Mars |
|
|
19 Jan
2018
 I
found another Russian publication of Farmer's story "The God Business".
It was published in September 1991 in the anthology Мечи Марса (Mechi Marsa;
translated as Swords of
Mars) by publisher Алиса (Alice).
The anthology contains, next to Farmer's story, also three stories by
Leigh Brackett ("The Dancing Girl of Ganymede", "Enchantress of Venus",
and "The Beast-Jewel of Mars") and one by Robert E. Howard ("A Witch
Shall Be Born").
Only two of Brackett's stories have a
relation to Mars. Farmer's story hasn't.

Advanced
Readings in D&D: Philip José Farmer |
|
|
26 Dec
2017
I
had missed it completely the past four years, but on November 25, 2013,
Mordicai Knode wrote a post at Tor.com
with the above title.
 «In
“Advanced Readings in D&D,” Tor.com writers
Tim Callahan and
Mordicai Knode take a look at Gary Gygax’s favorite authors
and
reread one per week, in an effort to explore the origins of Dungeons
& Dragons and see which of these sometimes-famous,
sometimes-obscure authors are worth rereading today. Sometimes the
posts will be conversations, while other times they will be solo
reflections, but one thing is guaranteed: Appendix N will be written
about, along with dungeons, and maybe dragons, and probably wizards,
and sometimes robots, and, if you’re up for it, even more.
This week it’s Philip José Farmer and his World of
Tiers,
an epic that bridges high fantasy, the pulps and whimsical
science-fiction.»
It is quite interesting, the essay leads to the conclusion that The
Maker of Universes "is a DM's novel".

Argentinian
novel Carne |
|
|
26 Nov
2017
Again
a discovery by Fred Fischer (USA). He saw it online, with the South
American site Mercado Libre (something like eBay), the Argentian
publication of Carne (Flesh).
The book is for sale for $80 (Argentinian peso). That is less than US$5.
There is not much of information with the book. I have no idea when it
was published. Mercado
Libre
only gives the format and the page count. I haven't been able to find
more information online of this publication. My guess is that it is a
copy of the Spanish edition with a new cover, something that happened
in more cases with the Argentinian editions. In that case it will have
been published in 1975 or later.
 I
also found a bad picture of another edition of the same novel on
Mercado Libre. But no information whatsoever. So I have no idea if this
is the first or second edition, or even if it really exists.
There is no information to be found online on any of these two books.
They are not included in the Spanish Bibliography, Tercera
Fundación.
If anyone knows more about these two, please let me know.
Thanks again Fred for the discovery!
