Description

This product is a first edition hardcover copy of "God Emperor of Dune" by Frank Herbert, published in 1981 by G.P. Putnam's Sons. The book is signed by Frank Herbert and comes with a dust jacket. It belongs to the literature & fiction genre, specifically in the science fiction category. This collectible item is a valuable piece for fans of the Dune series and collectors of Frank Herbert's work. Dust jacket is a little rough around the edges, but did its job protecting the book throughout the last 44 years. The book overall is in good shape, with no major defects, just normal wear and tear. The little info I have regarding the provenance of this novel is as follows… According to the original owner, this book signed by Frank Herbert in the early 80’s. The owner was an acquaintance of Brian Herbert, who is Frank Herbert’s son, and that is how the signature was acquired. Frank Herbert died of a massive heart attack in 1986. His “Dune” series has amassed numerous accolades throughout the years, and “Dune” and the “Dune saga” constitute one of the world's best-selling science fiction series and novels; Dune in particular has received widespread critical acclaim, winning the Nebula Award in 1965 and sharing the Hugo Award in 1966, and is frequently considered one of the best science fiction novels ever, if not the best. It has been said that “Dune is to science fiction what The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy".
