Dune seems to me unique among SF novels in the depth of characterisation and the extraordinary detail of the world it creates. I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings’.

  1. Arthur C. Clarke

An epic adventure of political subterfuge and messianic deliverance, Dune has become the best-selling science fiction novel of all time, and is considered by many to be the genre’s greatest work. This exceptionally crafted limited edition is a celebration of the novel’s literary magnitude and will be treasured by collectors for a lifetime. Limited to just 500 hand-numbered and signed copies, the lavishly illustrated edition is accompanied by a print and commentary volume, and is housed in a beautiful cloth-bound presentation box. The extraordinary treatment befits Frank Herbert’s 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. It is a place where water is sacred and where to shed a tear is the most taboo of all sacrifices. And yet the planet is also humanity’s sole source of ‘spice’, the mysterious, addictive substance that underpins the workings of the galaxy-wide Padishah Empire. To control Arrakis is to control all.

  • Incredible edition!

    Review by MR MICHAEL BOYCE on 31st December 2020

  • A limited version of the book brought out in the last few years by Folio - it's broadly similar with illustrations much the same but more expensively made with a separate commentary volume. The box is beautiful, but I find the magnetic clasp a little gimmicky. I prefer the cost to go into the book itself. I had hoped Folio would bring out some of the other books in the series - but not at this price hopefully.

  • Uniqe book with lux quality.

    Review by Mr Gabor Kovacs on 23rd October 2020

  • A bit pricey, but regarding the boxed set itself I have no complaints. A stunning work of art to commemorate a revolutionary work of literature. The box looks striking as it stares out from my shelf, the book itself is high-quality and well-made, and the included map and art print just add to the immersive experience.
