Dune by Frank Herbert   Ace N-3  True 1st print 1967      $100

Movies have exploded this book in recent years. Many bad printing identifications out there. Only N-3 on the cover is a 1st print.

John Schoenherr cover art. Hugo and Nebula winner.

Soooo tough to find these in any kind of decent shape at 544 pages thick.

This one is tight and glossy without major creases, one small color chip to lower corner. Spine has slight curl. Pages lightly toned and super supple.
