The
contents of Farmerphile
Issue No. 11 is now known. With two previously unpublished stories and
an article by
Phil Farmer, a column by his wife, Bette Farmer, and contributions from
Spider Robinson, Howard Waldrop, Win Scott Eckert, Chris Carey, Robert
Barrett and others. It is a special issue this time, with many 90th
Birthday Wishes from authors like Michael Moorcock, Norman
Spinrad, Harlan Ellison, Joe Haldeman, Piers Anthony, and many, many
others.
Issue #11, which has a very nice cover by Joey Van Massenhoven, will be
shipped this week. Farmer received his copy personally from the
publisher, Mike Croteau, on his birthday. Have a look at the site
with the complete contents, and the ordering and payment information.

Farmer's
90th Birthday: Congratulations! |

January 2008
Philip
José Farmer was born on January 26, 1918 in Terre Haute,
Indiana (USA). Today he reaches the respectable age of 90.
Ninety years in which he shared many ideas, theories, myths and
paramyths, fiction and non-fiction, biographies, his wit and his humor
with us —his readers— through his stories, novels
and articles. I
want to congratulate Phil Farmer warmly with the milestone of reaching
the age of 90 and thank him for everything he shared with us all, so
far. Happy Birthday, Phil!
The magazine Locus
will honor Grand Master
Philip José Farmer with his 90th birthday in Issue 565,
February 2008.
See also the website
of Christopher Paul Carey, editor of Venus on the Half-Shell and Others,
for another and original congratulation to Farmer and his work.

January 2008
This
week, just before Farmer's birthday,
did publisher Subterranean Press release and ship the trade edition of
the new collection Venus
on the Half-Shell and Others, "..in which the author slips
out of his own skin and into that of fictive authors..." (see
publisher's website).
If you want a copy of this collection, you should order it now, before
they are all gone. Previous Farmer books from Subterranean were sold
out in no time!
As soon as I receive the trade edition a new bookpage will be added to
this site. The other two editions will take some time to finish due to
the production time of the slipcase and especially the traycase.

I am still adding the information of Issue Number 10
to the pages of this site, will the next issue, Number 11, of Farmerphile be
published this
month, January 2008. Again with previously unpublished fiction by
Farmer and other newly written articles. There is no information yet
about the contents of the issue, so you have to check the Official
