      Wow !
      This is a sight to see !

      I always admire a collector, and a collector of books even more so.

      I like the way you blocked that window with more books ^^

      I shall watch this video in slo mo I think :)


      And thanks for posting it !

          I'm in the middle of compiling a list of my stuff. Right now I have around 1000 items on the list, but it's far from over ;)
          I don't know who has baliset, I have only Ukulele from CoD.

          3 months later I have around 1500 items on my list - a lot of work ;) But it's not over yet.

          BTW I'm looking for collectors from Spain, Greece, Israel, Netherlands and China who can confirm my lists of book (and magazine) editions from those countries if they are complete.

          New video of my room with even more stuff probably in May ;)

              The throw pillows are over the top, man!

              (The red glass (DM) is a nice touch, too.)

              His words oddly in rhythm to the melody of his son's baliset, Farok said: "I
              owned a crysknife, water rings to ten liters, my own lance which had been my
              father's, a coffee service, a bottle made of red glass older than any memory in
              my sietch. I had my own share of our spice, but no money. I was rich and did not
              know it. Two wives I had: one plain and dear to me, the other stupid and
              obstinate, but with form and face of an angel. I was a Fremen Naib, a rider of
              worms, master of the leviathan and of the sand."

              I love those pillows too. And the illuminated pictures above the living room couch look awesome, great taste!
              Also I couldn't help but notice the Giger picture above the door. It's a little hard to see.. is it the one with the monster that kind of looks like train? I keep wondering what he's smoking whenever he makes up his art.

              It was Baron's train IIRC, titled Dune VI.
              Atreides Hawk on pillows was hand made by my talented friend as a birthday gift.
              She will also make an Atreides lamp from Arrakeen palace in future ;)

              awesome stuff, but someone must have played a joke on you, since this is obviously a Frank Herbert chinese counterfeit copy, they even got the name wrong.

              nah I wouldn't dare criticize a teddy bear, Teddy (that's how mine was called ^^) would never forgive me !

              EDIT TO ADD
              let me say again that your dedication puts most Dune fans to shame :) I wish my wife would let me turn the flat into a Dune shrine but it is not going to happen any time soon, at least not until we have enough space for me to ruin some :D

              I was so lucky that my future wife found me while looking for guys for discussing Dune (seriously!).

              As I promised earlier in this thread - here is new video - Dar-es-Balat 2.0:
              http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E83-zL_vbjE

              Keep in mind that 140 books and stuff are outside that room - now on exhibition.
              There are around 4 shelves of my wife's collection also incorporated.

              Dar-es-Balat 3.0 in future ;)

              I doubt that i've shared this before;
              For Lynches movie, the Atredes used Fairbairn Sykes fighting knives designed for allied spies in WWII.

                  My cataloging quest is finally over!
                  I've counted all of them without duplicates and in most cases without books in trilogy boxes and compilations, so there will be more. Also most cards are treaten as sets.

                  Overall: 1966 items + 114 on Chani's list.

                  I reorganized one column - figurines instead of books and glass instead of wood ;)

                  Updated list of signatures after over a year:

                  FH: 53
                  BH: 79
                  KJA: 209 (109 obtained in person)
                  Others: 252

                  1005 books only within over 2000 items. So in overall quarter of items have signatures.

                  I myself am not much of a toy collector, but I really like that mouse figurine. I'd buy one of those.

                      Little update after Worldcon in London...

                      I've had a plan to sign most of my anthologies with FH's short stories by other authors. This was accomplished in 90% ;)
                      I've managed to obtain 70 autographs in 57 items (mostly books) from 19 authors/reviewers/artists in 5 days. I've missed only 6 autographs from my list due to limitations or changes in Loncon program. I've also attended around 60 panels/events, had a longer 1 on 1 chats with Chris Foss (Jodorowsky's Dune), Bruce Pennington (FH's UK covers), Gregory Manchess (DoD cover), Ian Watson (FH's book reviews), Brian W. Aldiss (who celebrated his 89 birthday during Worldcon).
                      I've bought also around 20 new books (partly visible on the right side of Elemental anthology). So my suitcase+backpack's overall weight was over 35 kg ;)

                      List of authors:
                      Robert Silverberg
                      Ben Bova
                      Brian W. Aldiss
                      George R.R. Martin
                      Fred Gambino
                      Bruce Pennington
                      Chris Foss
                      Joe Haldeman
                      David Langford
                      Grania Davis
                      Kim Stanley Robinson
                      Ian Watson
                      Gregory Benford
                      Gregory Manchess
                      Jim Burns
                      Jeffrey Carver
                      John Kessel
                      Peter Nicholls
                      Adam Roberts

                      Chirashi is also signed by Jodorowsky and Frank Pavich (director of Jodorowsky's Dune documentary) also in London but 1 month earlier. It's the only chirashi triple signed like this in existence ;)

                      All paintings are finally in our living room. 3 of them from Polish Dune editions, 1 from French Soul Catcher. (They are cropped a bit on the right side cause of some kind of limit on this page).

                      The last one is from the stairs - non Dune related.

                      Yugoslavia
                      Latvia

                      3rd row:

                      Today I've counted items in my collection.

                      There are 1277 books, 1703 other items and 1140 different cards.
                      So over 4000 items in overall.

                      Impressive!

                      Some of those pencil drawings I ahd seen before, but wasn't aware that they were related to Dune.

                      Are you refering to those on the walls by Siudmak?

                      Yep. In particular the one of the male's head with the skin from the neck and chest kind of stretched out like a tent. I have seen that one before, but was not aware that it was related to Dune.

                      Haha, you could see it many times on Jacurutu, cause it's my avatar and it's my portrait by Siudmak ;) I've been told that I was portrayed as Farad'n ;)
                      Drawing was originally published in Polish Children of Dune in 2008. My wife is on that drawing too.

                      Today I've completed another country - Ukraine.
                      First two books were printed in only 20 copies each.

                      Very nice!
                      It's cool to hear from you again :)

                      Sure, you can post it on FB. Maybe it will be an inspiration for new collectors ☺️

                      I suspect they might feel a bit daunted by your extensive collection ^^
                      And thanks, I'll do that shortly :)
