Ray Bradbury and Philip Jose Farmer Updates
We’ve received finished copies of both Philip Jose Farmer’s gathering of rarities, Up from the Bottomless Pit, and Ray Bradbury’s seminal collection, I Sing the Body Electric. We’re in the process of having the slipcases manufactured, and will ship as soon as that process is complete, in another four weeks or so. We think everyone will be happy with how these turned out.
In a couple of related notes, we’ve just reached agreement with PJF to publish another collection next year. Venus on the Half Shell and Others will collect the best of Phil’s “fictional author” stories, including the title novel, “written” by Kurt Vonnegut’s hack sf alter-ego, Kilgore Trout.
Little more than a week ago, we posted that we had pulled Ray Bradbury’s I Sing the Body Electric from our site, upon being informed that we were going to be shorted copies by our printer. Well, we are being shorted, but the situation is not as dire as they initially indicated, so we have a limited number of copies still available for preorder.
