I saw that as Sega Collection and thought I totally missed a game on Genesis.
I'm thinking these are in fact abridged versions?

Dune 850 + Dune Messiah 350 + Children of Dune 623 = 1823

vs

This collection is 1226 pages.

Could there really be 600 pages of just fluff that gets removed?

edit: the google link also says sold by penguin and is showing 1856 pages, so I'm thinking maybe Amazon's info is just wrong...

edit:edit: I ended up buying it and looking through it and comparing to some of the physical copies I have, and I think it's all good.

Quote from Tamdrik :
One review indicates that they're an abridged version. Can anyone confirm one way or the other?

As far as I'm aware there are no abridged versions of Dune unless you consider something like the graphic novel version. This would be the unbridged book.

Why are they giving these books away?
Has everybody read them and they just try to get $2 still from them?
I haven't, so i got reading for a while on the cheap. Any more tips on where to get cheap ebooks appreciated and thxs? Thxs OP 👍🏻
I recently read the Dune ebook from my library through the Libby app. I never have to buy ebooks and audiobooks. They're all available from the library. See if your local library offers Libby.

If anyone thought adapting it to a Movie was too easy, they should try adapting it to a 16-bit video game.

Update: Nevermind, it doesn't show up on the product page, but if you have a no-rush credit, you have to blindly trust that it'll be applied to the one-click order.

Can confirm that this works as Endey describes!

Because it takes place 3500 years after the trilogy presented here?
