The publishing history of Herbert's now classic novel is the stuff of legend. Rejected by over 20 publishers for being too long, it was finally serialized in Analog magazine in 8 parts under two titles: "Dune World" and "The Prophets of Dune". Parts 1-3 of "The Prophet of Dune" appeared in the January throug-March 1965 issues, with the iconic sandworm on the cover of the March issue. All 3 issues are complete here, with minor rubbing along the edges of the wraps, and a few small creases at the corners. January also has a small chip on the fore edge of the front wrap.
