We are delivering some fresh exciting books to your clients. We offer print books new and classics books. Many of our classic eBooks include the original illustrations you will not find with other publishers and our digital licenses will beat all others. We are carried by Baker & Taylor and offer standard terms, but try us directly. Baker & Taylor does not play fair with small publishers. They do not pay in 90 days (more like a year or two of arguing) and five years later they show up with returns. What can you do, they are the 500 pound gorilla, but you chose to feed them their bananas.

Also, check out our Flip& Scan eBook cards utilizing QR codes to get our stories on any device. Our racks can offer 100s of titles and take up no floor space. we are moving books out of the bookstore into every market!

Please email accounts@salemhousepress.com to receive a new vendor number. Then please download our latest print catalog or online catalog. Salem House Press offers 42% discount and 90 days for our terms. We are also carried by Baker & Taylor, but when you buy directly from us we can feed our authors and not loose money... Granted when you buy from us we still only can proffer our authors a $3 a book, well that is compared to sometimes less than a dollar with Baker & Taylor (and we have to wait sometimes 2 years for them to pay up...). Many of our customers pay the cost of printing and shipping up front and pay the rest on delivery. Most just pay up front the total bill.

SCI-FI BOOKS

John Carter From Mars Cover

John Carter From Mars Series by Edgar Rice Burroughs

The world of Barsoom is a romantic vision of a dying Mars. Writers and science popularizers like Camille Flammarion, who was convinced that Mars was at a later stage of evolution than Earth and therefore much more dry, took the ideas further and published books like Les Terres du Ciel (1884), which contained illustrations of a planet covered with canals. Burroughs gives credits to him in his writings, and goes as far as to say that he based his vision of Mars on that of Flammarion. John Carter is transported to Mars in a way described by Flammarion in Urania (1889), where a man from earth is transported to Mars as an astral body where he wakes up to a lower gravity, two moons, strange plants and animals and several races of advanced humans. In The Plurality of Inhabited Worlds and Lumen, he further speculates about plant people and other creatures on far away planets, elements that would later appear in the Barsoom stories.

The Barsoom series, where John Carter in the late 1800s is mysteriously transported from Earth to a Mars suffering from dwindling resources, has been cited by many well known science fiction writers as having inspired and motivated them in their youth, as well as by key scientists involved in both space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life. Elements of the books have been adapted by many writers, in novels, short stories, comics, television and film.

Avatar: In interviews, James Cameron has invoked Burroughs as one of the primary inspirations behind his 2009 space adventure.

Babylon 5: In this science fiction television series, Amanda Carter – a Martian citizen and advocate of Mars' independence from Earth – is revealed to have had a grandfather named John who was a pioneer colonist on Mars. This has been confirmed by the series creator J. Michael Straczynski as a reference made by the episode writer Larry DiTillio to John Carter of Mars.

The Star Wars films owe debts and offer nods to Burroughs' Barsoom novels.

Man in High Castle Cover

Philip K. Dick

Dick explored sociological, political and metaphysical themes in novels dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states. In his later works Dick's thematic focus strongly reflected his personal interest in metaphysics and theology. He often drew upon his own life experiences in addressing the nature of drug abuse, paranoia, schizophrenia, and transcendental experiences in novels such as A Scanner Darkly and VALIS. In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote approximately 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime. Although Dick spent most of his career as a writer in near-poverty, eleven popular films based on his works have been produced, including Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, Paycheck, Next, Screamers, The Adjustment Bureau and Impostor.
