Over at Total Dick-Head, PKD scholar David Gill reports:
My wife works at the library, and occasionally people will donate books that are too old or in such bad shape that the library gives them away rather than shelving them. Look what I got:
Yep, that’s the screenplay for Burrough’s film Blade Runner, the source for the title of [Ridley] Scott’s adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.

Philip K Dick for five years in the late fifties and early sixties, a period when he wrote some of his best sci fi novels …. Philip was dedicated to his writing, loved doing it and wrote effortlessly. When I was married to him he was a kind, loving, modest man, helpful around the house, and wonderful with the children. My four daughters remember him fondly. He was a great listener, an entertaining talker, lovable and loving. A paragon of a husband –- for a good while.
