Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. It is a universe of ‘traps within traps’, of human computers, secretive witch-cults and fanatic warriors, all with their own intricate histories and intentions.It’s an open brief, I’m allowed to come up with my own suggestions for images which are then sent over to the art director Adam Auerbach for feedback and then approval from the Herbert estate. This deluxe edition is very handsome with blue edging to all the pages and sits nicely on the book shelf, rather than looking like some cheap derivative sci-fi book that the front covers of the earlier editions tended to look like. The artist also described the level of creative freedom he experienced when working on artwork for these deluxe editions of the Dune books, as well as his collaboration with both the publisher and Herbert estate. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the “spice” melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness.

However, despite the grand scale of Herbert’s fully formed universe, at its heart Dune is the story of a single boy, Paul Atreides, who finds himself caught in the web of a myth, centuries in the making.

And then also had this image of what a Sietch might be like, in caves that have been hollowed out by wind. If you’ve seen a copy of that, you’ll know what to expect from these new editions of Dune Messiah and Children of Dune.
