About this Item
1st UK Edition, 1st Printing. 14 x 22.2cm beige boards with gilt stamped titles to the spine. 444[4]pp in two variant dust jacket; one being the first state or more likely a trial dust jacket in traditional Gollancz yellow with 'The Final Novel in the Great Dune Trilogy' printed on the front and being priced at "£3.50 appx.". The second is the jacket that is more usually associated with this book with image of a Dune landscape with a hidden face and a £3.95 net price. A near fine book with a firm square binding and bright titles noting only a faint ding on the front board about 4cm from the top edge. Internally clean, without name, inscription or bookplate and just a hint of toning to the top edge. The two dust jackets are also in near fine condition, both are unfaded and without chips, tears or losses and just a faint crease echoing the ding on the front board. The UK 1st of Children of Dune appears to be much scarcer than the US and we can find only one other copy with both jackets having been offered for sale. A rare item. Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care. Seller Inventory # 202084
