Different Versions of Dune or Its Sequels/

[Colonel_Worf]

When the newer publications of Dune came out (or any of the sequels for that matter) did Herbert ever add, remove or change anything in the novels?

As far as I know they just had different covers ???

If you look at the print history in the first few pages of the book, there's a copywrite message there preventing the actual text from being modified.

I don't think the author can, else he has to release the book under a different name.

Isn't it possible to make some small changes in the grammar and text of the book ?

And I have a Dutch translation of all 6 books, the small quotes in between chapters are not translated from the origional English book. Most of them randomly quoted by the translator I recon.

Wioth some major publishing companies, after the author sends his book in to be published, the publisher re-types it and sends back to him a copy of what they are going to publish in order to get the author's ok, this is done with each edition, hence some editions having different spelling and/or grammatical errors.
