the Rakis Horde
While wandering the Beaverton Powell’s Books this weekend Heather came across a copy of the late Dr. McNelly’s Dune Encyclopedia sitting on the shelf. I have been wanting to get a copy of this book for quite some time but given the small initial print run and the Herbert Limited Partnership’s desire to not see it republished I have found it elusive. Powell’s has a single copy in their rare book room but I couldn’t bring myself to pay $200 dollars they are asking for it. The few copies I have seen for sale online have ranged from upwards of $75. I was able to snag that copy for only $50 which while not cheap was a great deal.
As a standalone work it is quite interesting fleshing out a number of events and peoples touched on in the Dune series. It also serves as an interesting contrast to the “official” series of prequels being written by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson.
