Centipede will be releasing.....

Related - I knew Frank Herbert was a Tacoma native, but I didn't realize Metro Parks Tacoma actually named one of their attractions in honor of Herbert.

You can read about Dune Peninsula here.

I also love the sculpture they installed:

Okay, now that’s pretty cool…I also had no idea. Given that that’s less than an hour from me, it might make for a fun short road trip for me to go down there (on some rare day it doesn’t rain) once I have the Centipede edition in hand and take a few shots of book-in-park to share.

And sold out. Guess that takes the fretting I've been doing out of the equation.

I went with the unsigned because I'm not interested in the entire series, Just Dune. I didn't want to create a bunch of orphans...LOL!

Believe it or not, I’ve never read DUNE — I just wasn’t a sci-fi reader in my youth like so many — so I bought the signed with the assumption that I’ll love it and will need the full set. I certainly hope it’s the case that a first reading of DUNE can have as much impact upon one later in life than it’s clearly had with so many in their youth…or maybe even more…?

I got a signed copy of Dune. $660 with shipping in the US. Unsigned is $610 with shipping.

[RonClinton]

Still waiting, too…guess I wasn’t fortunate enough to be in the first group, so hopefully I’ll have better luck in the second notification.

Edit: Got it.

[TacomaDiver]

Ouch. That’s probably out of my budget. I’m interested but not sure I have that much interest.

Thanks.

$660 shipped in the US for signed, $610 for unsigned.

[TacomaDiver]

Still waiting. How much was it? I’m. It sure how much I can spend.

[slayn666]

After many years waiting, I have now ordered Dune.

[QUOTE=RonClinton;n190286]Sock Monkey , did your new Centipede acquisitions ever arrive?
/QUOTE]

They did! But I’ve been so busy that I haven’t even had a chance to unbox them. Work’s been crazy and then I had to balance that and serving as a juror on a two and a half week trial. AND we might be moving which means most likely having to get a new job. So everything has been bonkers lately. I am hoping to have pictures up in a few days.

[mhatchett]

It is a great Looking Book!

I received my copy of THE SPEAR today -- looks fantastic, can't wait to revisit this one. I'm positive I read this one in Back in the Day, but have virtually no memory of anything that happens within, so it'll all be new to me.

EDIT: Posted pics of it on Twitter today:

Saw your Goodis pics on Twitter. Man, they are some good looking books! Heck of an addition to the collection. My book envy is strong.

I’ve got a couple of new Centipede additions on the way. Nothing as cool as yours, but I’ll post photos when they arrive.

Thanks — and, fantastic, can’t wait to see your new arrivals!
