Dune covers
I'm sure there is a thread on these already but funny enough I can't find it....

Re: Dune covers
I like those editions.
Just a pity they don't do a Dune or a DM in that style.

Yeah, that struck me as being a little silly. Do the trilogy, then the last book in the trilogy through to the end of the series...DuneFishUK wrote:I like those editions.

Re: Dune covers
The used God Emperor I bought was older and unusually large but had a cool cover I thought:
The modern covers are simpler and sleeker but they dont show much art and I like the old school look to the earlier editions.
But this is one I've only seen online and is especially trippy:

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

Re: Dune covers
Yeah, the four NEL PB covers (of which the Dune Messiah one you posted is one) are my favourites.

Re: Dune covers
I'm really liking that big image nistle2 posted.
Does anyone know how the covers are chosen? Is it the same now as it was then (Frank Herbert's time)?
Also, I've always been curious about the title Chapterhouse: Dune. What's going on there? I remember the first time I saw that title, I thought: Chapterhouse? I had a look at the title in other languages, and it changes with each translation. The Heiresses of Dune (I think) in the Brazilian series, The House of Mothers in the French, and who knows what else in some of the others. The Spanish version is Casa Capitular Dune, so... there you go. Does anyone know what it says on the Hebrew version?
*Edited
Thank you. I like how the covers change style from people to people. I mean, check out the Hebrew cover for God Emperor of Dune. Whoa.Freakzilla wrote:http://www.arrakis.co.uk/books.html

Did that edition stop at God Emperor of Dune? If so, I can stop looking for them at Half Price Books.

Yes. NEL changed the format and artist for the PB editions of Heretics and Chapter House.Raspudding wrote:Did that edition stop at God Emperor of Dune? If so, I can stop looking for them at Half Price Books.

Re: Dune covers
I guess that's supposed to be the Guild Building on Junction in the CH:D cover, huh?

Yeah, I'm quoting myself. I used an online Hebrew keyboard and Google Translate to check out the Hebrew titles. Aside from Chapterhouse: Dune, they are all word-for-word translations. The Chapterhouse title reads The Bureau of Dune.JustSomeGuy wrote:Chapterhouse? I had a look at the title in other languages, and it changes with each translation.

Maybe someone else will think this is interesting. Maybe not.
I was gonna try to get the Japanese cover translations but was put off by the large number of Japanese characters.

I'll look later for the Heretics.
(I've only got one of those, the first volume of Dune in the second row, the one with Paul & Mohiam & her box on it.)

Re: Dune covers
The way they alternately used "sand", "sand dune" and "desert" in the translations of the titles is weird. I wonder if there are translator's notes and if Yano explains...
