First edition, first printing hardcover copy of God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert (G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1981). Increasingly scarce true first edition of this, the fourth novel in the beloved science fiction series, Dune. Price clipped jacket is protected in new archival sleeve but with some mild rubbing to faces and shelf wear around the edges - including chipping, creases and small tears. Small missing bit of jacket at top edge of front cover. Boards are straight and clean but with corners faintly bumped and some rubbing to black spine near edges. Binding is firm and spine is straight. Previous owner’s inscription on front endpaper and small stain to bottom outer fore corner of text block, otherwise all pages are clean and unmarked. See photos for condition.
