DUNE: Gollancz UK First Edition HC Recreation
Related to the
Dune Saga posts on
The 7th and Last.
I love books, but I don't collect or attribute any special value to signed or First Editions. For me, the true value of a book is its content. If the content is good, then the book is good, regardless of its edition. But if I can get it in HC with art that I personally like, then I'm extra happy.
Frank Herbert's first
DUNE novel is one of my favourite science-fiction books and I enjoy seeing how artists interpret the themes and settings of the story - so much so that the first post I ever made on
The 7th Side was a
collection of cover art for it. I wanted to include the
Victor Gollancz First Edition, UK (1966) because I like the simplicity of it, but I was unable to find a good enough image. I later figured that the best way to get it featured was to respectfully recreate it, so I did. Sadly, I don't know the original artist's name(s) to credit him/her/them.
