Gulp!
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.
Look, I'm not much good at big speeches, and I know I haven't always been an easy guy to get on with, and I know, that given the choice, I wouldn't have chosen you as friends, but I just want to say, that over the years, I have come to regard you as people I met.

in 45 years, McDune fans will be posting links to their books for sale for $13. The commentary will be much the same:
I think either one is a very plausible scenario
"even in fine condition isn't that asking a bit much?"
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.."that is more than I've ever seen one go for, way more."
I think either one is a very plausible scenario

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.
