For sure but it's always nice just to look at a copy in such super (or should that be Ultra in HLP newspeak) condition.

Even in fine condition isn't that asking a bit much?

That is more than I've ever seen one go for, way more.

But it is only in very good condition.

in 45 years, McDune fans will be posting links to their books for sale for $13. The commentary will be much the same:
"even in fine condition isn't that asking a bit much?"
"that is more than I've ever seen one go for, way more."
that is, of course, assuming that the literary powers that be haven't already banned the books from production and sale, and collected all copies to purge them from existence..

I think either one is a very plausible scenario

I've seen them go for a bit less signed... that does seem highish to me.

$13K and the idiot cannot even get the right edition's photo up?

I saw a presentation copy several years ago signed from Herbert over to Vincent Price. That seller wanted $5,500 for it, and I thought that was a bit much.

Seems...yes, well this seems to be a waste of my time.

Even at $9k, that is very impressive. I had no idea they went for that much.
