I
started reading Philip José Farmer's books in the late
sixties of the previous century. Some years later I began collecting
all of his books and stories. I searched for information about
everything Farmer had written and wrote that down on paper. Some of the
sources mentioned on the page "Works
about PJF" have been used to gather all that information. In
1987 when I had my first computer I organized the information in a
database and privately published a very limited and preliminary bibliography in 1989.
The project to publish the definitive PJF bibliography halted due to
several reasons, but I kept reading and adding new information.
In 1998 I started the project again with new energy and at the end of
that year brought the bibliography online. Not in a book as I first
intended, and I'm glad that I didn't do just that. Because the
information has been growing enormously since it came online, also
thanks to these people who have helped me to make this site to what it
is today.
I want to thank everyone very much for their contributions!! |

can collect new beer

I have to take the full bottles back home because Harry wants to drink
the beers himself...
