Some of hard to find Polish ephemera and books.

Also there is a bunch of books translated without permission of HLP in last years of communism:




Normal editions:




Only 2 of 4 were translated:


Godmakers with a bonus


Hardcover of Dune & Messiah


Long time OOP:



Ephemera - 1st 44 pages of CoD and fanzine Fremen with non-Dune related comics 'Vampirella':


2 issues of fanzine Ichwan Bedwine:

Love the cover on the orange one

Actually it was yellow, but my scanner did weird things with colors. It was also second volume in red, same picture - but I've never seen it. Cover by Enki Bilal I love his comics

I almost typed yellow

Nice - he has done some cool stuff

I really like the Jesus and Lazarus covers - they catch the book settings well. Pirate covers are pretty cool too.

Pirated Heaven Makers has cover by Boris Vallejo. More covers maybe tomorrow.

Well done K! Back in the day, Heavy Metal was my only source for Mobius- I couldn't get enough!

I have 3 signatures of Moebius on character sketches from Jodorowski's Dune. He was in Poland 2 or 3 years ago.

1st edition of Dune Chronicles by Phantom Press (2nd of Dune itself):
(covers the same as in later Zysk's edition but some of them attached to different titles)

Left - rarer edition with full double cover:





2nd edition of Dune Chronicles by Zysk (Zysk means Profit ). Also 3 Prequels posted earlier from Zysk:





3rd edition of Dune Chronicles by Rebis (all covers and interior drawings by W. Siudmak):
(funny thing is that 2 founders of Rebis after few years have chosen different paths and one of them create new publishing house Zysk - both love Dune and both published it ) Gold lettering was not so well handled by my scanner - sorry for that.















There are also few changes to titles across the editions as you can see in Ch:D & GEoD.

Last post with Polish books and that's all for you future collectors on international editions

1st Polish edition in 2 volumes (2 prints: 1st - 1985, 2nd - 1986):



Pirated version of DM (front & back) and also other print and xerocopy:




Pirated versions of CoD in different incarnations (always in 2 volumes):






Road to Science Fiction 4 and Welcome to the Party booklet:



Magazine with few short stories and fanzine with whole Direct Descent in it:

Very nice. I especially liked the first cover in the following image:



Ship looks like that big city in the sky where all us good people are gonna go when Jesus comes back.

I found this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... _500wt_966" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Seller told me that:

"Since that Arrakis.co.uk site (http://www.arrakis.co.uk/colpage8.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - on the bottom) has to have gotten the Ken Knutson copy as it is the only one I ever sold, it was lighter in color and while the best of that time, this is MUCH better. With Knutson he collected on every performer and paper doll so I was doing copies for him as I got the items. Alex sold his originals to me so actually I own them."

I bought a second copy

Have a nice a weekend to all of you guys and ladies! I'll be married in 4h30m and will surely have a great night

CONGRATS

Congratulations to you and your wife! I wish you a long and happy life together.

Have a lovely life together.

Congrats on the nuptuals.

Oh no, you gotta watch out for that one! If I'd called my ex "dear" she would have kicked my ass! Unless you've got a girl that's ok with terms like "dear" or "honey" you're better off shortening it even further, just make it "yes".

Thank you for all your best wishes and advices
Wedding ceremony and party was simply legendary
I'll provide some photos with Dune accents in few weeks but in separate thread.

That should be awesome.

Here's a curious edition of Dune that I've picked up: Alpha Science Fiction printed by Oxford university press. It's a heavily shortened version with only 143 pages compared to the usual 400-500 pages in other editions. That means it reads like a cheap pulp story, but was probably just meant for younger readers or perhaps those who are learning English. Do check out the elaborate glossary!

Ha! So that's where that picture I've seen with the "worms are usually small but the worms in the book are huge" quote comes from! I've always wondered what that was.

Definitely looks like it's for people learning English, nobody who already knew the language would need a glossary like that.

Dune
Frank Herbert ; adapted by Rosemary Border
Oxford University Press (Alpha science fiction)
1980, 144 p.
