*******NOTICE OF PRICE INCREASE*******

Farmerphile is a quarterly magazine completely dedicated to works by and about Philip José Farmer. It features the unpublished novel UP FROM THE BOTTOMLESS PIT, a suspense-thriller about the ultimate disaster in the oil industry, serialized over the first ten issues. These ten issues will also include other unpublished stories, speeches and letters by Farmer himself, as well as articles about the Grand Master and his work from his fans and peers. Farmerphile is fabulously illustrated by such talented artists as Jason Robert Bell, Charles Berlin, Keith Howell, Karl Kauffman and Shannon Robicheaux.

Each issue is $11. The first nine issues are in print and copies are still available. Later issues can be paid for now or as they come out.

TO ORDER FARMERPHILE:

You can PayPal $11 to mike@pjfarmer.com (that includes shipping in the US or Canada). If you would rather mail the payment, email Mike first with your address. Please ask about postage costs first if you are not in the US or Canada.
