Yikes, glad the book came through unscathed!

It could almost be the Amazon smile

The Amazon grimace. I have gotten some vary good Amazon packages and some with the unwrapped book rattling around in a huge box LOL!!

Man, when I get a box that arrives like that, those few minutes of unboxing the book and checking for damage are anxiety-ridden, especially for a book as expensive as DUNE. Glad there was no damage to the book itself.

Hey Guys,
Dune arrived today. A piece of art. I bought the unsigned copy with no regrets. I'm not going to post any photos of the book many of you already have it or have seen it. I am however going to post a photo of the box it arrived in. Thank Goodness Jead does such a good job packing his books HAHA!!

Very nice add!

I was always glad I was able to pick up a copy of Mr. October.

Same. It’s a wonderfully produced set that is worthy of his legacy.

Glad you were able to get this. Rick read a comment I posted about his writing online and reached out to thank me. He then sent me an inscribed copy of one of his books. Just a genuinely kind person and a fantastic storyteller.

I was able to talk to him every year at NECON. He always remembered me and always had a smile on his face and a laugh ready to go. I miss him, what a great person.

Added a 2nd Lettered Edition to my collection. Rick Hautala's Indian Summer letter "M".

Rick holds a special place in my heart. Over the years I had written a little and toyed around with the idea of publishing. I reached out to Rick regarding both multiple times and he was very generous with his time and happy to speak about writing and publishing. He was always pleasant and came across as a genuinely nice person. I miss him and his stories. Very underrated in my opinion.

May he rest in peace.

Yep. That is one I need to track down one day.

Nice nod to Hautala — I agree, Rick was a very nice guy, and his work was never flashy, but always dependable and entertaining.

Love sprayed edges.

Probably not the typical fare for the kinds of books we collect, but these arrived the other day - not for my wife, but for me.

Katherine Arden's Winternight Trilogy:

Book One: The Bear and the Nightingale

Book Two: The Girl in the Tower

Book Three: The Winter of the Witch

Each book also has color matched sprayed edges:

The quality is probably on par with any trade edition, but I really like how they turned out. I also have signed trade editions from when I met Katherine Arden at Emerald City Comic Con back in 2019. (She also knocked over her water bottle while signing, my books weren't ruined, but I got one hell of a unique inscription!)

I paid about $130 after shipping (from England - shipped on Friday, arrived on Tuesday!) and the eBay prices are already out of their minds. Not sure if any have sold for what people are asking for them, but damn!

Those really are gorgeous!
