Thanks, but no thanks. No more money for the HLP from me.

I like the looks of the book and it would nice to have a hardcover set of the [true] Dune novels like this. I have the first in hardcover from years ago but the others just in paperback and Kindle. If they do all 6 Dune books like this, I would buy it.

I wonder how much it burns BoBo's ass that Neil Gaiman got the Forward and he was relegated to the back of the book.

If you go to the Penguin page for the new edition and click on the Look Inside link, you can read NG's introduction.
I thought the next to last sentence about Dune was a polite jab at the BH/KJA books.

Ouch that is a jab at McDune. Good on Neil. I hope Penguin (doubt they will) will do the other 5 Dune Chronicles like this.

Gaiman should have just come out and said 'Them McDune books is shit, init.'

Gaiman wrote: "Others would write more stories in the Dune universe after Herbert's death, to diminishing returns. But none of that minimizes the achievement and grandeur of Dune."

Ouch!
