What are those, stained glass and carved/stained wood?

Amazing collection.

Handmade hawks on basis of my avatar (badge) which is based on Atreides emblem from the computer game.

Right, but I was just wondering what they were made of.

Very impressive! Ill talk to the bride about the artwork. I have always loved that artist's work. Those covers are some of my favorite in all of Dunedom. And after taking a closer look at the photos of your Polish editions, I have to say that they really look beautiful too.

Kwisatz, where did you find that leather wrapped SFBC edition? I've been looking for one of those to replace one I lost in a flood for years.

Wow, a truly amazing collection, Kwisatz.

I'm currently looking for 'Bornene pa Klit' in 2 volumes. Maybe you could help me find it?

I'd love to. In fact, I just did

I have mailed the antiquarian (http://www.vejleantikvariat.dk/index.ph ... rter=Titel) about payment methods and whether they can ship it directly to you, and expect to hear from them soon - it'll be around 63$ without shipping. Depending on what they answer, we'll figure something out - you pay on the site, you make the money transfer, or I take care of everything, whatever works (these antiquarian can be quite old-fashioned).

I'll be in touch!

Hmm as of Hawks - I didn't see a comma in your question. Yes, they are made of stained glass and carved wood.

Huge bibliographical French site with covers of Siudmak and many more artists and writers here:

I will pass your words of appreciation to Siudmak himself
I offer also some of Siudmak's reproductions on eBay, but not from Dune.

I have SFBC leather edition for years - I think 4 or 5 years. I know that my friend found another one 2 months ago, but they are on eBay very, very seldom. He bought it for $100.


Many thanks for finding Danish Children of Dune - I'm impressed, because those books are rather rare

Thanks!

Holy shit!

That's funny, when I started reading the new posts in this thread I thought all I could really post is "holy shit" - looks like Freak beat me to it!

I found more old photos and few of my unusual items or props.
Here they are - enjoy!

Set of chapbooks (most of them signed):




Special inscriptions for me:






Even book with Byron signature



2 French editions (Siudmak's and Sparth's):



2 photos from the same time and place (there is my Children of Dune on the table):



Promo item:



2 more custom made hawks:




Rings (Arafel ring, Dune ring and Fremen ring):





Gom Jabbar prop:



Crysknife prop:



Corrino scepter prop:



Corrino scroll prop:

Different prop costumes from different exhibitions (one in France) and from my room:














Ukulele prop:



And we could go now to drink some beer:



(label 'Kwisatz Wielki' means 'Kwisatz the Great')

If you got that on ebay, you outbid me

(Happy to see it went to a good home though )

[Edit: It's also awesome to see so many of the props from the miniseries being kept together in the same collection]

Sorry...
But I think the same seller had 3 or 4 of them later.

Was nae being serious (sorry maybe I should have been more obvious, all's fair in love and ebay )- he did? Missed that, I should pay more attention

Yup, I thought of buying another one, but prices were higher much higher than the first one.

I think those are not all of my prop costumes - should be 11 of them, I didn't count the pictures.
I was also wearing Leto's desert robes and on another day Baron's cape on Eurocon this year during Dune panel, Dune competition, Dune exhibition and last but not least my own Dune lecture, which most of the photos were taken from.

Wow. Very impressive!

Small French addition to whole collection (my last year acquisitions).

You could see a catalog of French covers (uncomplete) here for Frank:

AMAZING!

Do you have any info on FH first editions after Dune? About all i've gotten is that DMs first edition has brown covers.

I remember that publisher and its trippy silver covers, proper spaceman suit style !

Merci encore !

What do you need to know exactly?
You're right - 1st/1st of DM has brown covers, and 1st/2nd of DM has black covers. I have both of them but unfortunately both ex-libs (1st printing signed). I can provide further details about DM (but only those 2 printings). As of Dune itself I have 9 printings of 1st Chilton edition and to know if there is a complete set. I could provide any details and photos you want about those 9 books.
As of CoD I could provide information about first 5 printings and also 11th. There were rumors that was over a 100 printings of CoD - but I hardly believe it. I only have 1st and 2nd printing of GeOD and somebody told me about only 13 printings of this book. HoD and ChoD - only 1st printings in my possession.

BTW - very nice addition of covers Askaris - I should check my versions.

Thanks mate!
There's easily found info on Dune, but amost nothing on the rest of the series. After getting a red cover copy of DM for Christmas, I was very excited to think it may have been a 1st. According to most of the stuff I found, it was, (I also found a 'first edition' printed in the eighties) but after looking at some descriptions of copies for sale, figured out the brown covers must be 1st 1st.

anything you've got should probably go here;
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=417&start=15" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and thank you very much for sharing!

Maybe there is easily found info NOW, but back then in early 2000-2003 when I was looking for it, it wasn't that easy. I had to confirm different informations, checked fake 1st editions on eBay, corrected sellers who weren't sure which printing they had and so on. And now I have ALL nine printings of Dune - thanks for this link - it help me to confirm that is nothing more to chase in that matter But I have 2 ultimate goals - to have all first editions of all FH books signed and to have all nine printings signed (I have already 3 of them - 2,3,5). I'll upload some photos to this other thread 'How to recognize first edition' and add some details to the Omphalos' list. Maybe later I'll do the same with DM, CoD and GeoD I have

And BTW I have 3rd and 4th printing of Dune (both ex-libs) for sale right now on eBay. 3rd is really nice with minimal library markings.
