Children of Dune by Frank Herbert. Published by Gollancz, London, 1976. First impression of the first UK hardcover edition — the third volume in one of the most celebrated science fiction series of all time.
Book: No longer firmly bound, although not shaken; the book has a lean. Spine tips crushed and creased. Lower cover with some staining (see images); foot of the backstrip slightly stained. Bumped at the lower corner of the lower cover. Text block reasonably fresh, not browned, free from owner names. A single spot or very small stain to the fore-edge; very light spotting to the top and bottom edges. Good.
Dustjacket: Unclipped, original price £3.95 at the flap. Small laminate chip at the extreme edge of the front cover; some surface abrasion to the front panel — noticeable but not hugely distracting. Very Good.
Far from the Fine copy one might covet, but an honest and acceptable copy at a fair price. Good/Very Good.
