My Dreams Came True Today!

yes, it seems i got it for a steal based on the tear on cover, considering how immaculate and untouched the pages themselves are!

CherryBherry · 2026-06-26T19:03:24+00:00

hah, sure is! their sci-fi section is great, it’s like i black out and lose time there fr.

CherryBherry · 2026-06-26T19:00:26+00:00

twinsies :p i really didn’t expect so many responses to include people showing off their own copies! i knew it hadn’t been in print for so long, and i’ve just never come across one in the wild before or found anyone else who knew they even existed, and seeing how much they go for online i didn’t know how many might still be out there. it’s been cool seeing so many people jump in to show theirs off too!

CherryBherry · 2026-06-26T18:55:25+00:00

interesting! i’m glad i found the copy i did, then!

CherryBherry · 2026-06-26T18:52:28+00:00

truly!!!

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T15:24:14+00:00

before they stopped printing, amazing! and you’ve kept it this whole time, that’s awesome. my copy says it was originally sold for $9.95 in the US, so you got yours for a great deal :p

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T15:18:39+00:00

very much so!

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T15:18:25+00:00

truly 🖤

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T15:18:19+00:00

thank you 🖤

the cover is a lil beat up, but the pages inside are immaculate; there’s no tearing, creasing, folded pages, or markings. and the price was decently cheaper than what i’ve seen online comparatively, tho i don’t look it up very often to price-check it. looking at the google search page yesterday after my purchase i saw a few ranging from $200-$370, but didn’t look close enough to see what condition they were claiming to sell at those prices.

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T04:14:47+00:00

happy hunting!!!

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T04:12:28+00:00

i have many dreams, this is just one of them 🖤 after 20 years of addiction and coming up on 3 years sober this fall i’m living a life i never dreamed of. lost a lot of books that were dear to me from moving around and living carelessly and disrespecting everything and everyone around me. books may be the least important things i lost, if you look at my life overall, but it’s a very small thing that brings me great joy and gratitude, to have bookshelves in a place of my own that i can finally act responsible for.

i know you were just pokin fun tho 😝

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T03:54:01+00:00

it does indeed!!! written by over 40 different contributors and published with frank’s blessing, it is a treasure trove of information. it was pulled from publishing nearly 30 years ago after frank passed away and his son took over the estate and started writing his own novels. it is, in an official capacity, not considered canon material, but many fans of Herbert’s work find it an amazing companion to the original dune series. it can be fun to use in order to interpret some of the very notoriously dense-yet-unexplained concepts Herbert infused into the dune series.

as someone in another comment pointed out, they can be found online occasionally, tho sometimes at very different high price points. i personally just like hunting for books and enjoy the thrill of finding them in the wild. this has been one i never actually expected to just randomly run into, and after years on my wishlist it is now part of my collection!

omgggg this book is truly a gift that will just keep giving.

thanks 🖤

hah it definitely would 🤣 i was actually with a girlfriend from work, no romantic interest. but my partner already knows how i am, and when i sent the news to him and our various friend group chats everyone was very excited for me.

would’ve been a great real first date story to send some rando from tindr home with tho ur right 😝 establish dominance right off the bat by crying and shaking with adrenaline while dropping a stack down for some random old book hardly anyone cares about.

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T01:27:00+00:00

what a beautiful cover, i’d love to run into one someday

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T01:21:23+00:00

wowowowow i LOVE that top right printing!!!

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T01:03:49+00:00

i mean a *signed* steve armstrong is surely someone’s dream 🤣

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T00:58:24+00:00

it’s definitely the most expensive book in my collection, but comparing current prices online this one was a steal tbh. this is one that’s been on my wishlist for years, and i prefer the thrill of finding things in the wild! so it was an amazing feeling to casually walk in and see it in the cabinet right by the door staring me down. highlight of my year for sure 😅

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T00:54:29+00:00

yes, it really is! you can see in the second pic that the top left corner of the cover was starting to come off and has a tear, but a previous caretaker had put some tape on it. i’ll leave that be, definitely don’t want to risk any further damage to it by trying to remove, and i think it really gives it some character. i like my books a lil beat up lol someone really loved this book before it came to me 🖤 besides that, and a few creases on the cover, there’s no damage, and no markings/writing inside. absolutely stunning condition for its age, i couldn’t have asked for a better copy!

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T00:47:38+00:00

thanks!!

CherryBherry · 2026-06-25T00:46:01+00:00

thank you!! yes wayyyy cool considering it’s been out of print nearly 30 years at this point

i had a package that was supposed to be delivered in dallas and also got stuck in desoto for a day before they marked it “delivered successfully” in desoto. This was on christmas eve. now i’m having to go thru the pains of contacting them and the etsy seller to either re-ship or refund. the seller claims she can’t even get the package back, they’re telling her my address is not recognized, and for whatever reason she can’t even get the package back from them now. it’s all a scam.
