Re: To Serve Man - real and available

From Locus Magazine's online index:

WÜRF, KARL; pseudonym of George H. Scithers, (1929 - )

* * To Serve Man: A Cookbook for People (Wildside Press 1-880448-82-3, 1999, $14.00, 93pp, tp, cover by Jack Bozzi). Reprint (Owlswick Press 1976) associational cookbook of recipes for human flesh, a tongue-in-cheek response to Damon Knight’s story of the same title. Würf is a pen name for George Scithers. This is an on-demand edition available from Wildside Press, PO Box 45, Gillette NJ 07933-0045; www.wildsidepress.com

Here is the book's page in Wildside Press's online store.

George Scithers was Owlswick Press; also a staunch member of the Phila. SF Society when I was an active fan, and a neighbor when I lived in West Philly. He was also the first editor of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, when it went by that title as a Street & Smith publication. If you own a copy of Heinlein's Glory Road, look at the dedication.

The recipes are real and generally familiar - they substitute "long pig" for the shorter, four-legged version. Definitely Not Kosher, but fun... and probaby tasty, too (with a re-substitution of the main ingredient, please!).
