The Underwood-Miller PKD Editions: A Reference

Underwood-Miller was the premier specialty publisher of Philip K. Dick material in the years following his death. The press, run by Tim Underwood and Chuck Miller, published trade and limited editions of Dick’s previously uncollected stories, essays, letters, and unpublished novels, creating an essential body of posthumous PKD publication.

Key Publications

Underwood-Miller published several crucial PKD texts including collections of Dick’s non-fiction and critical writings, anthologies of previously uncollected stories, and editions of works that had not been available in the US. Their publications helped establish the critical apparatus that supports PKD scholarship.

Limited Editions

The Underwood-Miller limited editions — typically signed by contributors (editors, introduction writers) and produced in small runs — are collectible artifacts of the early posthumous PKD industry. While they cannot carry Dick’s own signature, they represent important milestones in the preservation and dissemination of his work.

Market Values

Underwood-Miller PKD editions: $50–$300, depending on title and limitation state. The limited editions command premiums over the trade editions. As documents of the early posthumous PKD publishing boom, they have historical significance beyond their content.
