Here's a link to a site that has the most comprehensive list of the various edition on DVD that I've found. Not all are review or have additional info, but in comparing...

Is anybody here interested in talking about the DUNE books? And are you a purist (only read Frank Herbert) or into all the prequels, etc?? There's a new blog going on over at dunenovels.com for the prerelease of The Sandworms of Dune next fall. I've lurked on these boards for a bit, mostly looking ...
