I saw this earlier when hunting down which copy to buy, but I completely missed the blue page edges. If I had saw that I would have gotten this edition.

We are all worried about whether this Dune movie will be good, but I've always said, Hollywood is perfectly capable of making a good movie out of Heretics (as long as they commit to a Hard-R movie)

A shameful 2006 copy, but having your eyes opened for 5£ at a flea market was quite the find. Read it once a year ever since.

Looks like a Josh Kirby cover for Discworld.

Covers, you say? Here's the first one I read:

It's the Danish version, where they transliterated the title of the book.

KLIT led me down an internet rabbit hole to the Norwegian translation from 2000, which was the first version of the story I read. In this interview the translator advises against people reading any books after the first and I'm ready to declare jihad.

The title is Sand, not the more literal Dyne, which also means "duvet".

Nice! This is the version I had when I first read it. It's probably stored away in a box somewhere or donated by now, who knows. Now I read the e-book on my kindle space-traveler's miniaturized edition set in tiny print on fragile pages of electrostatic film.
