Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I heard about this but in my country we haven`t it yet. What it is about? This is some chronology? Are there characters from E:BFD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 DE is Dune : Encyclopedia. It is endorsed by frank Herbert. It includes the Ordos and has many short storys and descriptions. It's not likely you will find it as no one can. It went out of publish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaronMoritani Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Actually you can buy it online at auctions like ebay, but occasionally you can find a used one for sale on a publishing house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub_c Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 It looks good. How much does it cost for a cheap maori like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Expect to pay about $100 USD on an online auction. Â I payed about $150 (~230 CAD!!!) for my mint copy (hardcover). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 DE was accepted by Frank Herbert, but he never used it to his later novels. He made his own characters, and because The Master wrote different things and DE became "apocryphal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 The DE, nonetheless, is still a work of art in itself. Pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I agree. Â It has some really neat stuff in there to speculate about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 for those that have read it. like vanguard I bet since he has it. and me. and others out there who I dont know.lol They will agree that his writing style is ingenious. I love his work. It is very like herberts writing. I wish they would have finished the jihad books together. :) dont bash it baron you havent read it! .lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Ahemm... I'm not bashing it!!It's true that I haven't read it, and I'd really like to do it at once.And what do you mean 'bash it' ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 You are negative about the book because other people have said its not canon. if you have looked you would see the the prequels are mistaken in many many things. so what is canon?

Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 But if it is made by fans, how can it be correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 The DE was not written by fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_d00d Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 no it was not made by fans but by a fan  ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 On one thread it is said that DE was created by dune fans, but that Frank did not follow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_d00d Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 actually it was made by Dr. Willis McNelly, a friend of Frank Herbert. FH himself thought it was a good piece of work but did not follow it.. I think FH thought he could think of better things :) There is also a ukranian version I believe on the internet, that's a different Dune Ency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 On one thread it is said that DE was created by dune fans, but that Frank did not follow it.It is incorrect information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Damn liars :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Actually it WAS created by Dune fans, but McNelly turned it into a book.And TMA_1: I'm not negative about it I just said I'm following the Herbert timeline. I didn't say, that DE is bad, I said it doesn't match with FH's version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 no it wasnt written by fans and anyway. frank in his message before the DE starts states taht he is the FIRST FAN and the GREATEST FAN of the dune series. Him and McNelly were good friends and were going to work together on books. I dont think you guys should say he is any other fan. He has a degree in english and worked wtih many professors on the book. overlooked by Frank himself. so there you go:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 TMA the book has contributors in the hundreds, maybe thousands! All McNelly did was possibly edit it, add stuff on his own, and compile it all into a neat book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 OK already about who wrote it and if fans created the actual contents who gives a monkey's buttcheeks, let's talk about the information it contains it's still a good book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 OK, you got point!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_d00d Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 actually TMA is right, McNelly spend 8 years writing it, or he writes very slow or he made it himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
