Frank Herbert – Dune – First UK Edition – 1966
£950.00
A first edition, first printing published by Gollancz in 1966. A near fine book without inscriptions. Titles a little faded. In a near fine unclipped wrapper. Laminate lifting a little to the fore-edge. Some wear to the spine tips. With the scarce yellow wrap-around band (repaired and a touch creased) with the quotation from Arthur C Clarke: “Unique among modern sf novels in the depth of its characterisation and the extraordinary detail of the world it creates. I know nothing comparable to it in sf or fantasy except The Lord of the Rings” [and from] Damon Knight: Clearly destined to become a science fiction classic. The band also announces: NEBULA AWARD WINNER for the best novel of the year. Rare with the band.
