      Post by Kwisatz »

      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). This 'error' is in all 9 printings (BCE has the correct version though). Grey endpapers (only in 1st printing), 4 lines on the bottom of back flap (only in 1st). No ISBN number. 2200 copies
      2: April 1968. $5.95 (green boards) (Philadephia, Ontario) - Second printing - stated below first edition text, 2 lines on the bottom of back flap. No ISBN number. Between 2000-4300 copies (depends on source).

      4: Dec 1972 $5.95 (red boards). Forth printing stated below third printing text. Rest details the same as in 3rd printing.

Rest the same as in 5th printing. There also exists variant of this edition with price sticker from the publisher with new price $9.95.
