Jᴀᴄᴜʀᴜᴛᴜ - Tʜᴇ Cᴀsᴛ Oᴜᴛ

Yeah, I just ordered The Jesus Incident, The Lazarus Effect, and The Ascension Factor on eBay. I actually found Destination: Void in a board game store for $1, and since it was in Delaware there was no sales tax.

Here are my Dutch Dune and Dune-Lite books. Notice the hideous crime on the cover of Hunters of Dune (Jagers van Duin).
My other Frank Herbert books coming soon....

cool thanks for showing those covers

(Neal Stephenson can be in my picture too, and he gets to sit next to Frank. If I had a sister, he could SO date her, too!)

My Frank Herbert collection. More are on the way...

Hey Lundse. I like the shelves. What kind of wood is that?

Haha - not exactly the type of comment I was expecting...

It's Douglas fir, but we used the wrong lye. As you can see, it had some white dye in it. They are still pretty nice, but I think I would have preferred them in their natural colour. The bark has an interesting stone quality to them, though...

duneaddict's Dutch Hunters is hideous Bloody hell, that is an almighty cock-up how'd they miss that

Oh wait... I remember...

When I first bought it, I thought that was some sort of clever marketing ploy. But a few months later I saw a new copy in the bookstore and they'd corrected it.

whoa didn't even see that error on my first pass.. that's crazy.
fucking douchebags

Haha, I missed that too, I thought the "hideous crime" you mentioned was the cover art!

No doubt.

Interesting to ponder, though, just what Frank would have thought of KJA. I don't think he would have been that impressed by a guy who literally thinks that quantity equals quality.

I can just see FH shutting the door behind Keith and muttering "fucking poseur" ...

You've got a point, that was a crime as well. There's nothing wrong with art itself, except there are no robot soldiers with machineguns anywhere in the story. I hate that, when they put some random image of a spaceship/robot on the cover of a lot of Sci-Fi novels. It's as if the artist and/or publisher just wasn't interested in the book. Oh well, at least he got the general tone of KJA's story-telling right.
I think the rest of the covers are superb.

My favorite covers are the French pocket book covers. Especially the one for GEoD where Leto is erupting from the body of a worm and casting sandtrout everywhere.

Thanks for that link Omphalos.
My favorites: Dutch, Italian, Spanish, UK, USA Berkley. In that order.
Can't say I like the Japanese covers. Bleh!!!

Ditto.

Yeah, they're pretty foul.

Yeah, the Japanese covers are awful. Also, Japanese posters of foreign films are typically awful.

I love the covers for the Berkley Trade Paperbacks. Very cool.

Barrak most excellent display:)

As for mine I added a copy of "THE DUNE STORYBOOK" dont have picture, got it for 7 bucks at used book store yesterday:)

These sublimation threads are always so amusing.

Well at least you've made peace with your small penis, btw you still dreaming of finding treasures in cupboards

I've never seen that cover for the TJI, pretty cool. Do you have a closer up picture of that?

Your wish is my command, Thing.
(Sorry again about the image quality. I have a brodart cover protecting it, and the reflections are a bitch).

Edited to add: Hey Freak, I embedded these as attachments. Is that okay, or would you prefer links to an external site?

Editedx2 to add: I think the covers for the NEL PB editions of Dune 1-4 are my favourite.

I haven't thought about it much, that's a new feature from phpbb3 I guess.

I say if it's dune related upload it here. Omph, Rag? I can spring for a HDD if need be.

BTW, that cover is AWESOME! I don't think I've ever seen it.
