Do you think they are sitting there in the Clove building thinking: b**er, we should have charged a bit more?

(Im not counting LEs that were substantially different versions of things theyd printed before, like Dracula, Tristram Shandy, or Doctor Zhivago). The one thing I do like is the black and gold text, though not enough to fork out 500 for. And yet the planet is also humanitys sole source of spice, the mysterious, addictive substance that underpins the workings of the galaxy-wide Padishah Empire.

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. 750 usd after shipping is crazy. At 300 I might have gone for it, but as I do not have the standard, this might push me into buying that instead. This exceptionally crafted new limited edition is a celebration of the novels literary magnitude and will be treasured by collectors for a lifetime.

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. dont want a box for my book or to be afraid to open my book. Definitely an upgrade from the other fine edition. Im firmly in the camp of those who recognize that FS is a business that has been barely surviving and I want them to be successful financially.
Many fans hold Dune as a beloved title on their shelves and collect multiple editions (Im totally speaking from experience here). 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.

Take for example Suntup Editions, all of their books are exquisite and sell out almost instantly.
Stock count down to 20 wont last long now. If they had re-imagined the production, commissioned a series of new illustrations and found other ways to exceed the existing edition, fine. Props to whoever ponies up for this. At the time of writing only 208 of the 500 copies remain. In addition to the illustrations and a map, a beautifully bound Dune commentary comes with the set. I'm planning to "hand number" my standard edition FS Dune, and offer it for sale at only GBP 250.

Arrived today. Wow! Happy to have bought it, have no idea how long I will keep it. The book itself is in perfect condition and very impressive. There's a huge difference between the way this was handled for The Wind in the Willows and this.
They go in so many different directions with each of the one-off LEs I'm familiar with, I imagine a series of similarly-sized solander boxes with the same general stylistic themes would look gorgeous. I was interested to see this. This seems far too expensive given that the illustrations are the same as the regular edition Is it just me? An epic adventure of political subterfuge and messianic deliverance,Dunehas become the best-selling science-fiction novel of all time, and is considered by many to be the genres greatest work. The way I under stand it, it's got only one 'really' new illustration in the book, there might be one other, or it's just the previous cover in its non-coloured version - and I think the cover with the eyes looked better, and then there's the book cover / the box with their images. Its been 55 years since Frank Herbert brought Dune to the world. If you want this, just buy their $135 book. I like the cover of the normal edition with the sparkly blue eyes. I own the standard Folio edition (I love it). Bound in cloth with endpapers featuring gold ink, the set, full of designs from Sam Weber, is a stunner. It is printed with the costly and superior letterpress method, leather bound and utilizes a few other handmade techniques, has 100% custom illustrations and is signed by the author.

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). Ive seen FS some out with a standard edition that is a toned down version of an LE before (e.g., Candide, Alice, etc. 
Not because it is a "genre" book. Denis Villeneuves adaptation of Dune is on its way to Arrakis, so it seems like theres never been a better time to crack open a copy of Frank Herberts science fiction classic. It is a place where water is sacred and where to shed a tear is the most taboo of all sacrifices. Just picked up CP's Something Wicked too, so can't really justify the extra outlay on another expensive version of Dune this year.
At $695, the edition may not be a casual purchasebut its craft is at the heart of the ethos of The Folio Society. Keep up with all things PRINT by subscribing to our weekly email newsletter.

I think it's overpriced like everybody else here, but I really wanted it \_()_/. First time i have said this .. shame on you Follo Society. 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. Its still expensive but not to this extreme. I do like the idea of this LE Dune.
See the world's best creative advertising, design, craft, culture and Impact work of 2022. Ridiculous. Wow.

Despite the added hours I'd say this Dune has proved to be at least as successful as Mort and Farseer given its substantially higher asking price. I was really interested as I scrolled through the pictures then I went to the price and immediately went - Ha, nah! I have no interest in reading any more though. Easier, as I do not own the original FS edition. You might check out their regular edition. I feel a bit sad for the eBay sellers buying this and posting it for $1800. The rest of the crap isn't even worth $100 extra. 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. On FB there are droves of them, driven by the FS's copy of Dune, and many people replying "oh it's not going to be anywhere near as nice as Centipede Press' copy.". I really appreciated the comments on this. 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. However as I bought the original version, this doesn't really offer me anything hugely more substantial. 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.

Holding out hope i luck out and buy the centipede press version in time when its released. A great case does not 695 dollars make! But Im not saying this edition isnt worth it. It also comes with the Dune Companion, which features essays by Michael Dirda and Brian Herbert. I like the two colour printing, which I don't think anyone has mentioned yet. 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. I have the stabdard edition which i love. For 500, I expect nothing less than a sealed packet of the spice. Perhaps people who want to have better copy of Dune can buy it?

Folio pls give us the other 5 books in the series and not more versions of the first book. The design for the clamshell box is nice - I like the use of endpaper design on the box, ties it together. This item can be shipped to United Kingdom. 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. 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. The editors of The Folio Society describe themselves as producing carefully crafted editions of the worlds finest literatureand, well, to put it bluntly, theyre selling themselves short.
