The original novel is superior to 'DUNE: Messiah' in almost every way (although the artwork in the Folio Society edition might be better than the illustrations in part I); but it wasn't Herbert's intention to create a better novel (or a complete novel, at all), he seemingly wished to enrich/ enhance the readers' experience on Arrakis, and I think that he achieved this quite successfully!
The quality that this book was made is the best I have ever seen. The packaging, the binding and the illustrations are all incredible
I love all of the art. It really adds on to the experience of reading dune messiah!
Among the most beautiful books I own!
Great quality
What can I say that I did not mention in my first Dune review? Again, the artwork, the quality, etc. achieve excellence. Again, if you are not a a lot into Dune then this is not your edition. There are cheaper editions that not imply paying for a small piece of visual art. The only problem I can think of is that the rest of the Dune Chronicles have not been yet published in such a wonderful edition.
It goes well with Dune.
Amazing quality in both the book itself and its contents! So beautiful!
I somehow missed that it was a 2nd edition. I prefer to buy the 1st editions. I am looking for the first 6 books of this series and am waiting for the 3rd book now.
Wonderful book!
Great illustrations
These books are fantastic, however this one stood out so much, I ended up with 4 Folio books, and the cover and materials on the Messiah are immaculate, absolutely great design and formatting all round, say what you will about "not judging by the cover" however presentation with books does have it's own say and makes you want to read and enjoy a book if done right, the fact that the slipcover has some art too is extra points, might be getting the original Dune book later as well!
The book is outstandingly beautiful. They are a bit pricey especially when you include shipping to the US.
Beautifully done!
Very expensive, but exceptional quality.
Beautifully put together. Very thoughtful presentation of the story.
Beautifully designed and a pleasure to read with sharp, clear typography. My only quibble is a few loose pages in the middle of the book.
We love our books..
As much as I love my copy of Dune from Folio, I love my copy of Dune Messiah even more! The coloring on this copy is GORGEOUS. I mean, the little Muad'Dib is golden on the cover. Golden! What more could one want?
Beautiful book. A little pricey for such a thin novel.
