Frank Herbert's Dune Saga 6-Book Boxed Set: Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune (Dune, 1-6)

This is a review of the product and not the Dune series. The Paperbacks are of good quality and are certainly better than the individual copies (which have the same cover design but are much smaller in size) However the box itself is not actual cardboard box but only a thick paper which easily wobbles at the touch. Was expecting something better like the boxed set for Mistborn

This was not a boxed set loose books so disapointed

I got a copy of Dune a while back in the new style (currently listed as the Paperback set, which may change - I'll get to that in a minute), but could not find the rest of the series in the same style AND size. For some reason all of the other books in that style were about an inch shorter, and honestly I just wanted a matching set. I had previously viewed this item, and as some of the reviews note, the books were not really a "boxed set" by any means. I want to be clear, the current Paperback selection is a genuine boxed set. I don't understand why Amazon sets this up in a way where a new product just replaces the old one, or why all of the various "sets" of Dune are all listed together. Why would a review for the Hardcover set be exactly the same as the Paperback? People want to know about quality of the material, not just whether the book is good! Anyway, the new boxed set was just released a couple days ago. I bought I liked the art style, along with the size and feel of the copy I had, and I am overall very pleased (though now I have two copies of Dune, so I will be gifting one to a friend). I have two VERY minor qualms with the set. One is it is not exactly the same as the previous copy of Dune, which is disappointing as that is what I have been looking for. It's hard to describe, but the copy of Dune I had has an almost velvety smooth cover, and while the size and art style are the same, the new books have a rougher texture. Again, it's totally minor, but something about that tactile feel when holding it was really great. The second minor qualm is the new copy of Dune has the "soon to be a major motion picture" as part of the cover in a black circle. Not a huge deal. Frankly, I'll probably just put my old copy in the box and gift the new one, but it bugs me when there are permanent additions like that made on a really cool cover (at least the cover isn't a photo of Timothee Chalamet!). Anyway, overall - totally worth the cost for me. Really good set. Love the style. Love the feel of the books in my hand. I'm very excited to read the rest of the series!

This is not what I received. I got all six books but they were not only not in a boxed set, but they were from different editions and they’re not even all the same size. Very disappointed.

I have a profound appreciation for the Dune novels. If you want to read Frank Herbert's Dune, then keep looking, this is not it. This is an edited, redacted, and sanitized version that has produced a kinder, gentler Dune. Without the deleted segments, the Harkonnens are not as despicable and evil, the Bene Gesserite are not as plotting and manipulating, the Navigators are not self made freaks (and not even a mention of folding space). The result of the decent into a sea of grey is that the Atreides also do not stand out in contrast. If you want a more family friendly Dune, this is for you.
