Zelazny,
Roger - "Foreword"
Back
when it came out Zelazny had
enjoyed Night of
Light, where
he first encountered Father Carmody. Roger Zelazny knew there were more
stories about him, but came accross only one of them. So, "...it is
good
to see all of Father Carmody together in one place. He is an
interesting
person, leading a colorful life."

Zelazny,
Roger - "Introduction"
It
is with high praise that Zelazny
writes of Farmer and the publication of this third novel in the World
of Tiers series. He had read the first two novels in this
series, which
"were of the adventure-romance sort, and I felt they were exceedingly
good
examples of the type. They are different from his other stories,
styles,
themes, different even from each other, and hence, as always,
incomparable."

Zelazny,
Roger - "Introduction"
Zelazny
cites several others and
himself to show that "...Philip José Farmer is a difficult -
perhaps
impossible - author to categorize simply...". He then describes the
different
aspects of PJF's writing, "...the man who has written everything from
sex
novels to religious allegory, from highly experimental stories to tales
of grand cosmological contrivance...", giving examples along the way.
"...There
are writers who become masters of a certain kind of story and spend
their
lives repeating themselves and running variations. Philip
José Farmer
is not one of these. As I was saying... I have been most impressed by
the
range of his imagination...".

Zelazny,
Roger - "Philip José Farmer"
An
appreciation of PJF, where Zelazny writes about his admiration and even
confesses that his own Amber series owes a lot to Phil's World
of Tiers series. He believes that sooner or later everyone
steals from Phil. Zelazny: "...There never was another writer like
Philip José Farmer and there never will be again. Treasure
him...".
There is also a PJF bibliography till 1979, which gives As
You Desire as a published book (it's not).
The cover depicts a scene from PJF's The
Wind Whales of Ishmael.
