Philip K. Dick collection
We proudly offer one of the biggest collection of Philip K. Dick items available for sale today. If you don't know about this amazing author (then you're probably not on the right website), here is an old, short biography. This catalog is not a list of all the items in the collection, but I took a picture of all the items. If you have a question about one specific item, please contact me.
Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for details about making an offer for the whole collection.
Note that I keep the covers (wrappers) separated in a folder. So the books in the pictures below appear without wrappers, those being preserved under plastic wrappers. There are quite a few items that I have multiple copies of, this is always a good way to trade them for something new... Click on a picture of a given shelf to get a high resolution image.
For personal (and budget) reasons, I've had to sell already most of the items signed by Philip K. Dick.
Now let's go through this virtual visit of the various shelves of my collection.

Now let's go through this virtual visit of the various shelves of my collection.
Shelf 1-1
The two Ultramarine items on the right are interesting. The yellow one (second book from right) is a review copy of "In Milton Lumky Territory". The "Broken Bubble" next to it is copy 17/250, signed by Tim Powers and Jim Blaylock.
Shelf 1-2
French soft covers and some tapes in the middle: mainly records of interviews of or about PKD, including tapes distributed with the PKD Society (all the issues are part of this collection BTW). I never copied them into MP3, but I really should have done I guess. Some of this stuff should be pretty rare.
Shelf 1-3
A few paperbacks here with three highlights. Two items are inscribed to Joan Simpson, whom Phil met in 1977. "Martian Time-Slip" is signed by Phil.
Shelf 1-4
On the left of this shelf, a few PKD books in Romanian and on the far right, a video tape of Phil's conference in Metz (France) in 1977. August Derleth's collection of short stories is inscribed by Phil to Joan.
Shelf 2-1
Some very interesting things here... Note "en passant" that I've got also some short stories colletions that contains a story by Phil Dick, like "the Dark Descent" on this shelf. I've added "Dr Adder" by KW Jeter, because not only I like the person very much (not Dr Adder, but KW ;) but the name of our bookstore was directly inspired by this novel. Not mentionning the role of KW in Phil's life... That's why I think this item has a place of choice in my collection.
Shelf 2-2
Some french editions on this shelf, on the right, next to the UK paperback editions are about 12 copies of a script by Brian W. Aldiss called "Kindred Blood in Kensington Gore", a copy of which is signed by Brian Aldiss. This is a play I saw at the PKD Celebration in 1991 in Epping Forest, near London, and I believe Brian did it again in France at the Futuroscope in Poitiers a couple years later. It was funny, because it wasn't planned but Brian, as I remember, decided to perform it the evening before. It's an imaginery conversion between Phil Dick and his wives ;)
On the far right, are Gregg Rickman's books. I met Gregg in 1991 and was fortunate to have a copy of "To the High Castle" inscribed to me.

Larry Sutin's "In Pursuit of Valis" is here, in paperback, hard cover and boxed, numbered and signed by Larry. I met him once back in 1991 at the PKD Celebration and he was kind enough to give me the number 4 of the boxed edition ;)
Then on this beautiful shelf you can also find the boxed edition of the Collected Stories by Underwood-Miller. The second volume, "Second Variety" is signed by Norman Spinrad, whom I met several times at conventions in France.
On this shelf are also the hard cover and boxed edition of the Selected Letters by Underwood-Miller. Each one of the boxed edition is numbered to 250 copies and signed by a contributor (scans are below).
For some unknown reason, probably related to the size of the cover (don't laugh, storage is always an issue) I added on this shelf KW Jeter's "Blade Runner 2", inscribed to my first wife, my son Elliot and myself.
