Philadelphia and New York: Chilton Books, 1965. First edition. First edition, first printing. xxxvi, 412, [2] pp. Bound in publisher's blue cloth with spine lettered in white, patterned endpapers. Near Fine, hint of soiling to front board, small light stain to fore edge. In a Near Fine correct, unsophisticated dust jacket with publisher's price of $5.95 intact, four lines of text at the bottom of the rear flap beginning with "Chilton Books," etc.; with light rubbing to folds, head and tail worn, tiny crease to spine panel. An excellent copy.
The bestselling, award-winning science-fiction epic inspired by the Oregon dunes. The novel in turn inspired multiple films as well as a series of novels by Herbert and his son. Increasingly uncommon in the correct dust jacket.
Sinopsis
The first in the epic science fiction series of the same name, Dune is set on the desert planet Arrakis, host to "the Spice" - the most important resource in the universe, needed for interplanetary travel and coveted for its effects on longevity and granting incredible psychic powers among humans. Amidst an intergalactic power struggle, would-be heir to the planet's stewardship Paul Atreides is cast out into the desert to die following a coup. Joining a group of zealots called the Fremen, Paul soon becomes considered their messiah - Mahdi - and recognizes in them a formidable fighting force with whom he can retake control of Arrakis. Dune won both the Hugo Award for Best Novel and the Nebula Award for Best Novel.
