God Emperor of Dune

Frank Herbert · G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York · 1981

US original, and the Putnam issue is the first appearance in book form. Within Putnam 1981 the signed limited and the trade are both collected and are of equal standing — no priority is established between them, and the census's precedence claim is not supported. Victor Gollancz, London, 1981 is the first UK edition and follows the US; it is separately collected but is not the true first.
