Reporting on what you care about. I like the gold because it does give a desert influence and symbolically plays off the commodity aspect. Just disappointing to think of all the other science fiction classics that could have been given a proper LE treatment. Valle Duhamel's video for Mozilla Firefox emphasizes the need for a personal browsing experience. And they are all gone - sold out in just over 25 hours. Could someone explain the Centipede Press version?
I'm planning to "hand number" my standard edition FS Dune, and offer it for sale at only GBP 250.
Droga5s film for NRG Energy uses an airport installation to make people think about renewable fuel.
For those who care about such things, I ordered pretty much as soon as this thread was started and received number 7, so it seems that FS is sticking (at least roughly) to a first-come-first-served allocation of numbers. My book itself had a slight knock / bump on the spine, one can feel it slightly, but hardly see it, it`s nothing bad.
I would buy the series unnumbered as well, maybe theres my shot to owning these books which youll have to shell out 4000ish $$$ to own. Those comparisons show that they definitely played with the color balance. I own the standard Folio edition (I love it).
The author went on to write five more novels in the series: Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune, in addition to film adaptations.
I'm happy for FS and the buyers who clearly want this edition. It's almost as if there has been a worldwide cataclysmic event which has ripped up their production schedules, screwed distribution, decimated their Autumn list and given a just-profitable company cashflow problems, isn't it? Maybe someone has more insight but this also feels like something FS was planning on releasing way back but held back for whatever reason. Something for everyone interested in hair, makeup, style, and body positivity. I've been umming and ahhing over this since yesterday, even had it in my cart this morning.
Clearly a success but as a FSD and lifelong Dune fan such a let down. No worm tooth?
As it is, there seems to be little reason for this edition except to make money (again, in the words of Jerry Seinfeld, not that there is anything wrong with that). I kind of wish we wouldn't blare this stuff out to everybody, especially people I've never seen post on any of the boards that are suddenly popping up.

I've also been disappointed to see so many random new people asking about these books.
Re Dune series limited editions from Centipede Press, Jerard says: Yeahit's what I've been saying. Unnecessary considering an already (very) fine edition is available.
I know sales speak for themselves, and with just 500 copies this likely wont last that long, but it might not be a terrible idea to email the FS with our thoughts.
What needed to come about came about, and that's enough for me. Is this the second quickest book to sell out?
> I think this Dune will easily retain it's value should I decide against keeping it. I feel a bit sad for the eBay sellers buying this and posting it for $1800.
The extras are okay, but not enough to justify this price increase compared to the regular edition. Yes, priced too high for what it brings to the table. Now I'm thinking maybe Folio, officially or unofficially, got the inside scoop that Dune was going to be delayed and made a move on shifting their stock whilst it was still in the public eye. For less than that price I could have gotten Lyras Books gorgeous Stardust, letterpress printed, hand-bound in full leather, and signed by the author Neil Gaiman and the artist. I think it's interesting the surprise at how much disposable income SFF fans have to spend on these editions. I have gotten used to these small things with FS books, they are not always immaculate (not even when Joe was there).
Do you think they are sitting there in the Clove building thinking: b**er, we should have charged a bit more? Already a subscriber or have a Commarts account.
I am a sucker, and love Dune, so purchased a copy.
The Dune artwork from Mark Molnar looks epic: There are 5 limited editions on the folio page if anyone wants to buy: How do I join the reservation list for Centipede Press Dune? Here's my snaps. I guess it will be gone within a day or two of publishing. The more I think about it the more it feels like a cash-in rather than a well thought out book - gimmicks like the separate map and 'print', the separation of the introduction and afterword from the main book, the lack of sufficient added value from the standard edition.
Prices? Mine has now arrived (although I haven't had a chance to open it yet).
But, it should be a high profit margin item for FS - 197 sold already! If you can deal with Justine shes a lot more reliable.
500 is a stonking amount to pay for a single book.
I bought it when there were 69 left.
The box is nicely done, and if the limited edition had come first, I would have certainly gone for it. I bought the original Silver / blue edition in 2015; a treasured volume, and marvellous design.
Obsessed with travel? Just noticed they put the counter up, 105 gone so far. With no pouch of spice? 695 Dollars. So I'm not sure that in this case FS deserves the criticism from the Old Guard. Whats more, they have managed to sell this new production at a price point similar to that of productions which would have had a higher cost of production due to use of materials such as leather, or time-intensive production techniques such as letterpress. I agree with everyone aboveits a shocking price for what you get, designed clearly to milk SFF fans of their money. Sign up for the BuzzFeed Books newsletter. This is a very common practice in the fine press world - offering a limited number of copies of an edition specially dressed up for an extra premium. concept Wow! Search, watch, and cook every single Tasty recipe and video ever - all in one place! Paul Atreides, the hero and another main character, looking out over the deserts of Arrakis. I really like the Sam Weber art though, and if they'd added several more pieces for the LE that might have made my decision tougher. conceptartworld I'll likely add the regular edition to my library at some point (I should give up on hoping it'll be added to a sale). We hold major institutions accountable and expose wrongdoing. No harm done that I can see - producing it hasn't cost much creative effort so doesn't seem likely to be at the expense of any other book, and it will make some money which may be used well if they ever again publish something that hasn't much hope of paying its way.
I dug up an email from 2017 when I asked Jerad about the books and let him know I wanted the whole set. I will not buy an FS book with innapropriate use of this colophon - unfortunately, this is now what most folio books come with.
Of course, this edition of Dune will probably sell out quickly and incentivize Folio to produce more of the same 128 gone inside three hours.
My LE avoidance remains intact. The new version includes illustrations by New York based artist, Here's a peek at some of the new illustrations inside, Illustration by Sam Weber from The Folio Society, You can order your copy of the newly illustrated. Centipede Press Dune artwork by Mark Molnar: I dont think the premium in price can be attributed to Sam Webbers signature surely since Book of the New Sun had his and the much more valuable Neil Gaiman and Gene Wolfes for quite a bit less. I did wonder why they never released this edition closer to the actual release when hype would have secured a faster sell-out (not that 24 hours is a bad record in the grand scheme of things aside from bragging rights).
Plus it's in no way similar to standard edition, other than few illustrations. I even prefer the original cover.
There's a huge difference between the way this was handled for The Wind in the Willows and this. I do like the idea of this LE Dune. As you can see mine is already slightly fuzzy round the edges.
Perhaps they wont care, after all generating revenue is paramount, but wouldnt take more than a few minutes to register our dissatisfaction with this edition. FS this is really a let down. 123 remaining.
In other news, the movie just got postponed all the way to next October.
litany gesserit jutsu jiu novel How unfortunate, the day you were able to take some photos turned out to be one of those rare overcast days in England! The case itself is what truly and mostly stands out, it is gorgeous and will make a definite object on say, a shelf. Secondary prices for this volume on eBay will be amusing to monitor over time.
The Folio Society, a London-based book publisher, recently released a 50th anniversary collectors edition of the book series, featuring artwork created by illustrator Sam Weber. Has Folio ever released a series of LEs? Fifty years after the sci-fi classic was first published, here's a look at some modern illustrations for a brand new edition of Dune. I dont really understand why you would keep the limitation low, if demand is at such a high. Easier, as I do not own the original FS edition.
Just added to Folio LE page. It's going to sell out today. As others have noted the symmetry of the lettering of the spine in the original is well thought out. Normally LEs are sent by courier, and even reach this side of the world in ten days, but Dune was sent untracked standard post and arrived in the big white Spanish post bag despite paying a premium fee for a LE to be shipped by courier - disappointing.
Holding out hope i luck out and buy the centipede press version in time when its released. Just picked up CP's Something Wicked too, so can't really justify the extra outlay on another expensive version of Dune this year.
>heres an easy way to make some quick money with a minimum of additional effort. Sandworms appear in the Dune series as gigantic and scary worms that live in the desert and have huge mouths full of teeth.
If demand is as high as you're worried about, it is entirely possible that Jerad could issue a second unsigned print run. Want great book recommendations in your inbox every week? I was interested to see this. My Dune LE finally arrived in Australia, 26 days after being ordered. Arrived today. The design for the clamshell box is nice - I like the use of endpaper design on the box, ties it together. But I admit to being a little saddened by this one. Perhaps people who want to have better copy of Dune can buy it?
Dit onderwerp is niet gemarkeerd als hoofdzakelijk over een werk, auteur of ander onderwerp. I think its a nice edition, if I was a person with disposable income I certainly would have brought it. Im not sure one is better than the other, though.
This seems far too expensive given that the illustrations are the same as the regular edition Is it just me?

Webers illustrations depict the characters and ecology described in Herberts work, with acute details that capture the intricacies of the faces and landscapes of Arrakis.
Resales are up on Ebay already - for 800! The book itself is in perfect condition and very impressive. I just took a look at the regular edition, and I think it's safe to say that the 'Essays by Michael Dirda and Brian Herbert' are the introduction and the afterword from that edition.
But it's clearly selling very well. HARD pass. FS have managed to capitalize by repackaging assets from a production which is currently still available and has been reprinted many times, at a premium in time for the Dune theatrical release.
It's a big beast, same dimensions as Ulysses.
While I understand where the criticism of this release comes from - it's not a "true" LE, rather a quick dressing-up job of minimal effort - FS did no editing, typesetting, etc., just commissioned Sam Weber to do a couple extra illustrations, a variant binding and a Solander sarcophagus, and moved the introduction and the afterword to a separate volume, but this is not something new for FS.
