It's a repost (with minor additions) from Jacurutu.
There are only 9 printings of 1st edition of Dune by Chilton.
1: Aug 1965. $5.95 (blue boards) (Philadelphia, Toronto Ambassador Books). Only first edition stated, with no indication of the printing, this could be a spelling error in Muad'Dib (Maud'Dib) title of 2nd part of novel (but according to Fullerton Archives that was a working title of Dune).
