Thanks so much for writing up such detailed posts for all of us trying to figure this out.<br /><br />Currently in possession of a Dune novel and my main 2 questions are: <br /><br />1. The copy I have seems like an eighth edition with the red boards, pricing and printer’s key number, but it does not list this or any previous editions and printings. If editions aren’t listed sounds like it’d be a Book Club Edition, however, Book II in the table of contents is still misspelled as “Maud’Dib” instead of “Muad’Dib” which would be corrected in a BCE.<br /><br />2. Also, it’s a library copy. Are these automatically deemed as unworthy and not very valued due to the stamping, glueing, and handling?<br /><br />Here’s what I’ve found on the book:<br /><br />* No BCE markings on front flap or gutter codes. <br />* It seems like an eighth edition with red boards and silver/gray writing on the spine. Says Herbert and Dune on the top of the spine then 5077 and Chilton on the bottom of the spine<br />* Listed price on front inner DJ is $10.95<br />* Cover designed by John Schoenherr<br />* Book II in the table of contents is incorrectly spelled as “Maud’Dib”<br />* Printer Key as follows: <br /> * 1st line: Copyright © 1965 by Frank Herbert<br /> * 2nd line: All rights reserved<br /> * 3rd line: Published in Radnor, PA, by Chilton Book Company and simultaneously in<br /> * 4th line: Don Mills, Ontario, Canada by Thomas Nelson & Sons, Ltd. <br /> * 5th line: 890 43210<br /> * 6th line: ISBN 0-8019-5077-5<br /> * 7th line: Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 65-22547<br /> * 8th line: Manufactured in the United States of America<br />* Back flap has 2 lines on bottom: <br /> * 1st line: Chilton Book Company<br /> * 2nd line: Radnor, Pennsylvania<br /> * No black line<br /><br />Any insight would be much appreciated.
