Happy to have bought it, have no idea how long I will keep it. 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. This edition, limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, comes in a presentation box. I was interested to see this.

I will not buy an FS book with innapropriate use of this colophon - unfortunately, this is now what most folio books come with.
I look forward to Centipede's offering. Mine has now arrived (although I haven't had a chance to open it yet). Show me someone who's willing to spend $700 for a book, not because it's old, rare, and hard to find, but because it's new and kept artificially scarce by a book publisher so they can get away with a 4-figure markup percentage.

This is why Folio books are the perfect tonic. I like the gold because it does give a desert influence and symbolically plays off the commodity aspect.
But, it should be a high profit margin item for FS - 197 sold already! If youre patient it occasionally goes on sale, too - though probably not anytime soon with the new film coming up. Dates? Wow. 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.

Frank Herberts phenomenal tale of far-future desert warriors, fallible messiahs, and interplanetary intrigue is newly crafted as a magnificent limited edition from The Folio Society. This edition of Dune is a complete ripoff compared to that, as it has nothing at this level. I have zero regrets about missing this LE, and I say that as a massive Dune fan (my LT username gives an indication of that). dont want a box for my book or to be afraid to open my book. The design for the clamshell box is nice - I like the use of endpaper design on the box, ties it together. I like the cover of the normal edition with the sparkly blue eyes.

Clearly a success but as a FSD and lifelong Dune fan such a let down. The book contains 13 color illustrations by Weber, an award-winning illustrator. I really appreciated the comments on this.
The extraordinary treatment befits Frank Herberts epic story, which is played out on Arrakis, or Dune a planet of nothingness, its torched wastelands home to a fierce nomadic people who stalk gargantuan sandworms the size of starships. First time i have said this .. shame on you Follo Society. The issue with this one is, that for the price it is poor value for 500. For the value I have spent, I feel like I bought a book on eBay with a high price.
Looks lovely, but agree with the general sentiment that the materials used are not worth the price, and as I don't care about signatures or exclusivity, the standard edition seems more than enough. 12 x 8 x 3.
My LE avoidance remains intact. To me this really is a rip-off and should be beneath them - under the new regime it clearly isn't.

The extra goodies aren't nice enough, the box that houses the book, while having some beautiful art, is useless as books are meant for reading. housed in a gorgeous cloth-bound clamshell box, and comes with a print and a volume of commentary. Plus it's in no way similar to standard edition, other than few illustrations. 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. The essay collection, meanwhile, features work by Michael Dirda and Brian Herbert (Frank Herberts son), alongside a double-sided fold-out map redrawn by Weber. Yours for only 500 quid. So I'm not sure that in this case FS deserves the criticism from the Old Guard. I think it said theres 2 new illustrations but from 175 aud to 1150 aud its the most extraordinary rip off for mostly the same book with some nice touches.
