Philip Jose Farmer

Philip Jose Farmer

The following biography appears inside the cover of Essex House 0108 THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST, Farmer's first Essex House novel:

PHILIP JOSE FARMER spurted on the scene in 1952 with THE LOVERS, considered to be the first science-fiction story to deal graphically and intelligently with sex.  The resultant controversy has hovered about his work ever since.  To date, he has written 20 books, primarily "biosexopsychic science-fiction stories," with an occasional foray into the waters of the mainstream.  Early in 1969, Doubleday, who this year returned Farmer's classic FLESH to print, will publish Farmner's eagerly awaited LORD TYGER.  In the offing too is a movie version of THE ALLEY GOD.  Presently he is working on a second novel for Essex House, AND YOU, RED JUDGE, to be followwed by the continuation of THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST tentatively titled SKETCHES AMONG THE RUINS OF MY MIND.  Last summer, Phil Farmer reaped the Hugo Award for Best short science-fiction novel of 1967 with his brilliant tour-de-force, RIDERS OF THE PURPLE WAGE, which appeared in Harlan Ellison's epochal DANGEROUS VISIONS anthology.  The Farmers live in a modest home across the street from Beverly Hills.  


New titles will be added as they become available.

How to order

This is a self-made website by little old me, and while it might be big, it is not sophisticated.  The little buy icon icon takes you to a generic order form where you can type in the author, title, price, and indicate whether you would like to send me a check, money order or credit card payment.  I will confirm availability via e-mail, and once I've received payment, I'll ship the book.  It's that easy.  If you have questions,  please don't hesitate to ask  via email.

Condition Grades

There's a standard bookseller vocabulary, with terms like Fine, Very Good, Good and Poor to assess condition (to see these terms defined, click on the link above).  Most of my books are in Very Good or better condition, and I tend to overemphasize their flaws so that any surprise is a pleasant one.  Feel free to ask questions, and if the book isn't in the condition described, you may return it for a full refund. 

Wants Lists

If I don't have the book you seek in stock, I will retain your book search in my wants files and email you when I do have a copy for sale. If you don't hear back from me immediately, that probably means I don't have a copy right now.  But fear not,  I keep extensive files and never stop looking....  so send me your request;  you've got nothing to lose!
