My GF is a huge dune fan and i wanted to purchase an Easton Press edition of Dune, however as i was searching around, i found that there seems to be 2 versions of this book. One of them has a gold inlay border on the front and back cover of the book while the other one does not have the border. I have attached pictures of the 2 books. Is there a difference between the 2 other than the gold border? Also, is one more rare than the other? Another question, I have obtained a Frank Herbert signed book. It is a Putnam Press first edition of "The White Plague". I was thinking of cutting out the signature and mounting it into the Easton Press Dune book. Is this just a terrible idea? Would i be devaluing the book, and is the signed version of the White Plague valuable? Any advice would be highly appreciated. best regards, Newb2Dune
