Thiessen, J. Grant - "The Never-Ending Bookshelf" In his article about rare paper-covered books J. Grant Thiessen examines and reviews also the 1968 Essex House edition of Farmer's The Image of The Beast: "A lengthy postscript by Theodore Sturgeon provides perhaps the best explanation of the novel, along with a diatribe against those who would Label - in this case, those who would label this book as pornography, or science fiction, or whatever. I agree thoroughly with him that a work such as this transcends ordinary labeling." The Science Fiction Collector #8, October 1979 [Fanzine]

Thiessen, J. Grant - "Philip José Farmer: an Appreciation" Thiessen: "Philip Jose Farmer will never be reckoned as one of the great science fiction authors. The reason -- he is rarely topical, his emphasis on science is negligible, and he does not herald his own work with a great fanfare." After this opening line Thiessen discusses Farmer's work, with the topics 'Sex', 'Heroes' and 'Unique Series'. He concludes with: "It is this reader's fervent hope that Farmer continues to write for many years to come, for, regardless of his subject, his books are always entertaining and innovative." The Science Fiction Collector #5, September 1977 [Fanzine. This appreciation is followed by a bibliography of Phil Farmer's work, see Paul Whitney.]	Lari Davidson

Thompson, Don - "Tarzan, Lord Tyger, et.al." A sort of book review of Tarzan Alive in which book Farmer tackles several of the contradictions and inconsistencies Burroughs created in his Tarzan novels. Don Thompson concludes that PJF did a brilliant job with this book but also asks the question: "Who is going to straighten out the seeming contradictions and inconsistencies among Farmer's various versions of the ape man?" He points out some of them in A Feast Unknown, Lord of the Trees/The Mad Goblin, Lord Tyger, Tarzan Alive and Time's Last Gift. Erb-dom #58, May 1972 [Fanzine]	Roy Krenkel

Tweet, Roald D. - "Philip José Farmer" Critical essay with a selected bibliography. One of the most interesting articles about PJF and especially his writing that I have read. It mentions most of his novels and goes at length about the novella "The Lovers" and the first four books of the Riverworld series. Tweet: "Farmer's work might have gained even more recognition were it not for the interrelatedness of so much of his work and for his habit of doing the unexpected - puzzling his readers and dividing his critics, who have always had trouble fitting him into a preconceived outline." Science Fiction Writers, edited by E.F. Bleiler Scribners, ISBN 0-684-16740-9, hardcover, 1982 Scribners, ISBN 0-684-80593-6, hardcover, 1999 [2nd edition]
