Why Book Sales are Like Crack Dens To Me, Part 3

While we have a minute or two, Dondie and I thought we would blog another book-sale book.

Title: Flesh
Author: José Philip Farmer
Cover artist: Uncredited (sadly)

Dondie says: "I'm sorry ... have you read the back of this?" [Hands Rex book. Rex reads...]

Rex says: "Yes, that is quite something."

Here is the front cover:


  • "Why isn't this working? What am I doing wrong? My left horn!?"
  • "This moose won't make love to me. I'm sad."
  • "I am pigeon-toed and can't seem to vault over this moose."
  • The blood appears to be rushing to his ... everywhere.
  • That reindeer is mincing. It also has cacti on its head.
  • This cover is almost too insane to make fun of.


  • "This was AWESOME!"
  • "Commander Stagg" = least creative porn name ever
  • This novel makes fun of itself.
  • Dondie and I are out of ideas... :(

PS Wendy (in Comments) mentions the cover art of other editions of this book. If you ever see this version:

... at a reasonable price (say, a few bucks...), Buy it! It is well known (among collectors) and reasonably valuable ($30-$50). But, really ... do you need a reason to buy it. Look at it! Who wouldn't want it?
