A
French Birthday present for Farmer |
|
|
26 Jan
2019
Philip
José Farmer is not forgotten in France, not by far. Many of
his
books are still reprinted and published in new editions these past
years.
For his 101th Birthday a French blogger wrote an entry: «This
is
my birthday present.» The blog has the title '10 INFOS
ÉTONNANTES SUR PHILIP JOSÉ FARMER', translated:
'10
AMAZING ITEMS ABOUT PHILIP JOSÉ FARMER.'
The blog
gives a great and interesting overview of the themes and ideas in
Farmer's work. It is written in French of course, but you can have it
translated via Chrome.
The writer, I cannot find his name, made a nice logo with the use of my
photo of Phil.

Galaktika
and Galaktika XL received from Hungary |
|
|
14 Jan
2019
I
received eight Galaktika
magazines from Hungary, which I ordered last month. They contain
stories by Philip José Farmer
Four regular issues, Galaktika
#285, #291, #298 and #307; and four XL issues, Galaktika #285XL,
#291XL, #298XL and #307XL.
The XL issues of Galaktika have the same contents as the regular
issues. They only have about 100 pages extra, with more stories. For
instance issue #307XL contains a novel (The Black Sun) by
Jack Williamson. The price of the XL issues is higher of course.
The four covers of the regular issues were shown with my post in
December last year. The four covers of the XL issues are below. The
cover illustrations are the same, the design is different.
Issues No 285/285XL (12/2013) include:
- "A
kevésbé rossz megoldás" ("The Leaser of Two Evils").
Issues No. 291/291XL (06/2014) include:
- "Leégés"
("Skinburn")
Issues No. 298/298XL (01/2015) include:
- "Ne vizezzük a
gyémántot!" ("Don't Wash the Carats")
Issues No. 307/307XL (10/2015) include:
- "Totem és tabu"
("Totem and Taboo")
I had to correct some of the data already given on the story pages, and
add new information, like the cover artists.

| Statistics |
These are the
numbers for the book pages this month.
 1910
publications
1301 different
covers
There are less covers than publications due to all the reprints with
exactly the same cover.
