Here are some of the secondary sources that I am aware of for Dune, by Frank Herbert. It includes the books, theses and dissertations. There are also URL links for some of the more interesting sources on the web I am aware of, with brief descriptions of what is linked to. Please feel free to add to this if you know of any sources that are not listed here. I have done my best to give a sense of order to this material, but I apologize now if it seems disorganized. This seems best to me for the electronic medium, though. NOTE: To make it easier to get the list started, I only put the most important cites, and deliberately did not include smaller works that are cited within them.

So have fun mining all of these! I certainly did! One day I plan on having everything listed and linked, so please check back occasionally. Finally, I have a TON of stuff in print, unbound, with no URL, that I have copied from a variety of sources over the years. One day I will catalogue it all and post it. I had some fun getting this stuff all together, so maybe Ill get motivated to do it soon. BOOKS Allen, L.

This book is not about FH or Dune in particular, but does discuss some of the feminist virtues and shortfalls of the Dune books. BOOKS TO BE PUBLISHED There is also rumored to be a book coming out next year by LegendMaker Scriptoria that is apparently titled The Synopsis Treasury of Science Fiction & Fantasy, which will include letters that Frank Herbert exchanged with Damon Knight in the 1960's.

I have no other information on this book right now, as the publisher will not return my e-mails, and it is not yet listed on thier. UPDATE: I have spoken to the author, C.S. Haviland, and he has indeed confirmed that this book will include items from FH's estate, including correspondence between Herbert and Knight. This is going to be a huge book that includes synopses and story pitches from the following authors: H. Wells, Robert A.

: A pretty ambitious and well conceived attempt to centralize web-based user resources. It offers e-mail, blogs, a wiki, and a discussion forum, and claims to have the largest Dune image gallery on the web.

I don't know if that is true, but lots of the images there were obviously created with an eye towards detail. Note that this is the successor to the fanfic site listed below, but is going in a new direction. It has none of the content of that older site. According to Irulan Corrino (who can still be found over on the Gholaforum), the site was 'attacked and destroyed by malicious hackers.' Apparently lots and lots of image files were lost, as she did not keep a back-up anywhere.

I hope that this is not too confusing. I went back to DN and cut out what I thought were the important comments about this list so far and moved them over here. Ill go back and clean the quotes up someday soon. Note that not everything has been moved, so as to make the job easier and eliminate things that I may appreciate, such as the many thanks I got from grateful users of this list, but didn't add to the content. If you want to see everything, here is the original URL. Rymoah, I'd like to add these: THESES & DISSERTATIONS - - - Kevin Mulchay, 'The Prince on Arrakis: Frank Herbert's Dialogue with Machiavelli'; - INTERVIEWS - Rymoah * * * * * Omphalos, For anyone who is interested in building up a Dune reference library, I strongly reccomend that you start with Phil Stephensen-Payne's bibliography. It can be purchased from Abebooks in the UK.

Phil usually gets those things out very quickly. If you want his e-mail address to talk to him, just let me know and Ill send it to you. Phil's 'book' (pamphlet, really) gives a complete a bibliography as I have ever seen, including all of the aritcles FH wrote (and there are a bunch!) As for the dissertations, I have permission from three of the five authors to distribute copies freely, so let me know and if you are interested in reading them and I will scan them and send them to you by e-mail. One of the five I do not have permission for is Smith's, but that is available for I think $35 online, in PDF I believe. Im trying to reach the last one now. Other than the books, the last stop you should make is the UC Fullerton special collections library.

There they have a ton of FH stuff, most of which is referenced in Phil's bibliography, but not all. Unfortuntely, they do not copy and mail, but if you contact the special collections librarian at that university, she will happily send you a calalog of what is in the archive. Im thinking its time for a quest! EDIT: I have added a link to the archive document above. Finally, there is a rumored spec book that was supposed to be published by Borgo Press, called Frank Herbert: Prophet of Dune (Vol.

14 in a series by Borgo), right before it went out of business. I think the author (Harold Prosser, who is very obscure) may be deceased, but I am trying to find the executor of his estate to find out what ever happened to the manuscript. Robert Reginald, the Borgo editor, says he thinks the author died. If I ever find it, I will do what I can to get permission to distribute it.

Incidentally, in my searches for this author I have run across two publishers/editors who are currently planning on writing/compiling FH reference books. I keep in touch, and if either of those projects ever comes to fruition, I will be the first to let you know. Some other confusing things you should know if you search online for any of these secondary sources: 1. The Stephensen-Payne bibliography is sometimes credited to Gordon Benson.

Benson started it, then died, then Stephensen-Payne bought it, so Stephensen-Payne is the current author. Any work by Benson is out of date.

Also, Stephensen-Payne has a US distributer named Cromm (or something like that) so if you see this bibliography credited to him, its the right one. Someone just screwed up. Cromm writes bibliographies with Stephensen-Payne, but he did not work in this one. The Levack book has been published by Greenwood and by someone else (cant remember which publisher did the first edition). So if you see separate publishers, they are the same book.

It can get confusing because one publisher credits Willard, and the other doesnt. Underwood Books published a pictoral biography of FH some years ago, but I have never been able to find it. Someone told me once that it is one in the same as the Levack book, as in the Greenwood version there are pics of the books, but I cannot verify this. The long and the short of it is that if you see separate entries for these two books, and want to buy them both, know that they may be the same.

And lastly, a word of warning: Your wives will not be pleased with the 'Frank Herbert Notebooks,' that will start to squeeze her chick-lit to lower shelves in the bookcase! * * * * * Rymoah. Omphalos wrote:Updated to include Rymoah's Dune Italia stuff in the main article. Thanks a bunch, Rymoah!

Thank you again, Omphalos, for maintaining this list! Are you sure that Stephenson-Payne bibliography is available on Abebooks? Searching with the ISBN or the title didn't return me anything. Anyway, I've just mailed the author to ask information about it.

Rymoah * * * * * Omphalos, Rymoah, Try this: Were you entering the dashes? Its best not to do that with search engines when looking for an ISBN. * * * * * Rymoah, LOL sorry Omphalos I realised now that the ISBN you posted missed a '3'. Moreover, the ISBN written on alt.fan.dune was completely different -- that's why I couldn't find the book. I have received a mail from Stephenson-Payne (very kind person ), and here is his answer: Thanks for your enquiry. The bibliography was never actually 'published' by Borgo Press. It was published under my own imprint (Galactic Central Publications) and a small number were then bound for libraries by Borgo Press.

I don't have any copies of the hardback (Borgo) version for sale, and nor does anybody else as Borgo went out of business years ago. However, the original paperbound version is permanently available from me. Normally you could buy it through ABEbooks but, by coincidence, somebody bought the copy advertised there yesterday and, while I have instructed ABE to restore the book as being available, it takes several hours for them to update their database.

Though now I have understood that I was referring to the wrong edition, I can't figure out his last words -- because now it is available on abebooks. Anyway, he has been so kind that he was willing in sending me the book himself. Rymoah * * * * * Omphaos, I received an e-mail from Phil S-P at Galactic Central Publishing this weekend. He has added copies of his Frank Herbert bibliography to Abebooks.com (I have posted a direct link above) so if you want to buy this, it should be easy now. Its just under $4 shipped and is a great place to start if you want to build up a FH collection. FYI, I have no connection to Phil or Galactic Central: Just trying to pass useful info along. He also corrected some problems with my secondary article, and Ill make them on the body of the article soon.

* * * * * Tanzeelat, Omphalos, you missed off the sleeve notes to FH's four Caedmon recordings:- Dune: the Banquet Scene - read by the author, Frank Herbert (TC 1555, 1977) Sandworms of Dune - read by the author, Frank Herbert (TC 1565, 1978) The Battles of Dune - read by the author, Frank Herbert (TC 1601, 1979) The Truths of Dune: 'Fear is the Mind Killer' - read by the author, Frank Herbert (TC 1616, 1979) Frank Herbert reads his Heretics of Dune Chapters I and II (TC 1742, 1984) Sleeve notes by Frank Herbert on all the but the last, which features notes by David G Hartwell. Some of the sleeve notes were reprinted in Frank Herbert: Maker of Dune, edited by Tim O'Reilly. Oh, and there's the 1978 Dune Calendar by John Schoenherr too, of course * * * * * Tanzeelat, It's nice to be back. I was just concentrating on other things for a while. Oh, one more book for the bibliography: BookValuer: Frank Herbert I bought my copy on eBay, but they have a web site - bookvaluer.com - although it appears to be under construction. * * * * * Rymoah, I've just noticed that the URL I provided for Kevin Mulcahy's work actually redirected to an article that cites it, but it's not the article we were looking for. I apologize for that.

Anyway, I have discovered that the dissertation was published on the Academic Journal 'Extrapolation', of the University of Texas, in 1996 (as you can see from this ) I have contacted the editor, J.A. Martinez, and fortunately they still have past issues of their journal, including that with Mulcahy's article. If you want to get it you can send a mail to Martinez (his address is available on the website of Extrapolation), he will tell you address where to send the payment (I think it's 8 $ a copy for past issues, for foreigners add a 6 $ fee).

Rymoah * * * * * Tanzeelat. Omphalos wrote:Tanzeelat, could you give me the vitals for the bookvaluer title, like ISBN, the entire title, author, etc? I cannot find it on line and I think Id like to add it. Can you give a description too?

No ISBN or publication details - it's little more than a pamphlet. The version I have is Edition 1-5.06, and I bought it on eBay. The web site is still under construction - at this rate, I doubt it'll ever go live.

The books itself is just listings of FH's books, and prices for the various editions. It also gives historical prices. Here are a couple of photos of its contents - * * * * * Omphalos, New Master's thesis (Brown) added to the list. I have ordered this one, and should get it soon. I have been asked by at least two people to make the various theses and dissertations I have available to them. I have permission from Lutton, Schreiber, and Smith to circulate copies of the documents. I have not been able to contact others, but I think Im going to post on my website two of the other three that I have.

As for the Silliman dissertation, I note that the U of RI is selling it, so Im just not going to make that available. You can go to the university and purchase it on-line if you want to read it. A down load is $35. Expensive, isnt it? Ill keep trying to find her and get permission to post it, but until then, sorry.

It is pretty dry, but the topic is one that I see has been taken up a few times recently by critics. The problem is that the average document is over 100 pages, and scanning something that big (six times over) is a complete pain in the ass. Once I get them up, Ill hyperlink the text of the titles listed in this article so that you can just click over to where I will have them archived in pdf format, and can download them for your own use. Sorry its taken so long, but I will get this done eventually. * * * * * Jessica20, Check out these essays, they should be on the Science Fiction studies website - Donald Palumbo 'The Monomyth as Fractal Pattern in Frank Herbert's DUNE Novels' Vol:23 (1998) Marie-Noelle Zeender 'The 'Moi-peau' of Leto II in Herbert's Atriedes Saga' Vol:22 (1995) Walter E.

Grigsby 'Asimov's Foundation Trilogy and Herbert's Dune Trilogy: A Vision reversed' Vol:8 (1980) Hope these are on the website, if not then I hope there's a collection new you. I searched through the whole collection there are probably about 10 more articles about Dune but these are the only ones applicable to me, so I only made note of these ones. * * * * * Omphalos, Thanks, Jessica20. I was not aware of all of these. The Palumbo article is, I think, an excerpt of a book Palumbo wrote on the topic.

Its cited in the first category, Books, in the main list. Greenwood publishes it, and it costs a mint, but I have found a bunch of copies in libraries on-line. If that article is what you need for your dissertation, you should check out the full work. I have not read the full book yet, but it seems that Palumbo applies fractal analysis to Asimov's Robots and Foundation series, as well as Herbert's Dune series, and draws some conclusions that are relevant to all works examined. Thanks for the other citations.

Once I have these articles in hand, I will move them all over to the Scholarly Articles section. * * * * * Eru, I noticed that there are 2 comics. Now, I was aware of the one based on the film, but is there another? Or is it just the different release, since I know it was released as separate comics (4?) and as one volume. * * * * * Omphalos, They are essentially the same. Marvel published a short run series, then Berkeley published a graphic novel that is the entire series and, I am told by the local comics guy here near my house, some additional material. * * * * * Tanzeelat, Yes, the Joan Vinge who wrote The Dune Storybook is the same one who wrote The Snow Queen (and its sequel The Summer Queen).

I can't see all that much resemblance between Dune and The Snow Queen myself - Vinge's novel is more of a space opera romance. You've still not added the Dune: Chronicles of the Imperium RPG to the games section. It was cancelled very quickly, but copies of the rulebook - produced for a GenCon - can still be found. * * * * * Omphalos, I see BH has put up something on the DN blog about the Legendmaker Scriptoria book. I cannot get the publisher to respond to me to save my life, but apparently this book is a go, and BH has written a number of pages of introductory material for it.

I guess we shall see if it makes it to print, or the publisher folds. Ill keep my fingers crossed for this one. Its supposed to have some information in it that BH & KJA put together before the first of the House books came out. I wonder how it will treat the materials FH left behind? Maybe there will be new pearls in there, or, God forbid, actual copies of some of the notes? I am having a hard time imagining how a publisher would want to go to the trouble of doing a book like that without at least attempting to answer some of the controversial questions surrounding the subject. I also am informed by a source in the know that some letters between FH and Damon Knight will be included, and BH confirms that in the blog.

* * * * * Omphalos, (I see you caught yourself between the time I read the first version and was ready to post this. ) Are you still having trouble getting him to reply to you? How big a production is this publisher? Their website looks pretty ribey, as I noted in my comment thread on that blog post. Answer by Omphalos wrote:He=KJA? He responds to me pretty quickly, but I dont bother him too much. And youre right; before I realized it was BH and not KJA who wrote that blog I shot off a note to Kevin asking him if he really thought the the book would make it to print.

We shall see how long it takes him to reply to tell me Im stupid for not noticing he didnt write it, but Im betting he will get to it pretty quickly. He seems to get his mail in short order. As for the publisher I researched them a few months ago. It seems that most of what they publish are books about the de Haviland family, which as you probably know has deep and broad roots all over Europe and the Americas.

If you search long and hard at the Legendmaker site you will find a link somewhere to a more detailed page of the actual publisher (not the company), Chris Haviland. Theres a comparative plethora of information there. As for Legendmaker, they seem to only have one product on the market at a time, and their web site certainly supports that notion. This looks to me like someone who usually does vanity press publications or on-demand stuff, but the book that is coming smells like a general release to me. Maybe the publisher is trying to step up in the world? If not, count on very few copies.

If you want it, you'd better stay tuned. And even if it is published completely on spec, the market for SF reference is not exactly on fire, so do what you can to get a copy early if you can. For my part, I cannot wait to read it and review it here. * * * * * Omphalos (to Byron) Remember a long time ago when I asked you about what was in FH's book collection? You couldn't recall anything specific.

I do quite a bit of work in Oregon, and discovered a public library near Florence, ORE that has your grandfather's old book collection, donated by (I think) your mother (again, I think), Penny Merritt. I'm already planning a trip up there to at the very least catalog them, and if time permits, look through a bunch for handwritten notes. * * * * * Byron.

But it's also the town where Frank came up with his idea for Dune. If you look around while you're there, you'll see why. The dunes are impressive along the coast.
