Yeah, I just ordered The Jesus Incident, The Lazarus Effect, and The Ascension Factor on eBay. I actually found Destination: Void in a board game store for $1, and since it was in Delaware there was no sales tax.

Here are my Dutch Dune and Dune-Lite books. Notice the hideous crime on the cover of Hunters of Dune (Jagers van Duin).
My other Frank Herbert books coming soon....

Hey Lundse. I like the shelves. What kind of wood is that?
What fear is there in the night?

It's Douglas fir, but we used the wrong lye. As you can see, it had some white dye in it. They are still pretty nice, but I think I would have preferred them in their natural colour. The bark has an interesting stone quality to them, though...

When I first bought it, I thought that was some sort of clever marketing ploy. But a few months later I saw a new copy in the bookstore and they'd corrected it.

Interesting to ponder, though, just what Frank would have thought of KJA. I don't think he would have been that impressed by a guy who literally thinks that quantity equals quality.
I can just see FH shutting the door behind Keith and muttering "fucking poseur" ...

Re: Post Your FH Collection
You've got a point, that was a crime as well. There's nothing wrong with art itself, except there are no robot soldiers with machineguns anywhere in the story. I hate that, when they put some random image of a spaceship/robot on the cover of a lot of Sci-Fi novels. It's as if the artist and/or publisher just wasn't interested in the book. Oh well, at least he got the general tone of KJA's story-telling right.A Thing of Eternity wrote:I thought the "hideous crime" you mentioned was the cover art!
I think the rest of the covers are superb.

Re: Post Your FH Collection
My favorite covers are the French pocket book covers. Especially the one for GEoD where Leto is erupting from the body of a worm and casting sandtrout everywhere.

Yeah, the Japanese covers are awful. Also, Japanese posters of foreign films are typically awful.
I love the covers for the Berkley Trade Paperbacks. Very cool.

I've never seen that cover for the TJI, pretty cool. Do you have a closer up picture of that?

(Sorry again about the image quality. I have a brodart cover protecting it, and the reflections are a bitch).
Edited to add: Hey Freak, I embedded these as attachments. Is that okay, or would you prefer links to an external site?
Editedx2 to add: I think the covers for the NEL PB editions of Dune 1-4 are my favourite.

I say if it's dune related upload it here. Omph, Rag? I can spring for a HDD if need be.
BTW, that cover is AWESOME! I don't think I've ever seen it.
