Jack Leaf Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 LoL, in Finland there is not even Finnish version of that book! :'(The last Finnished Dune book in here is that, where Baron dies. :'( ... I have to find some Finnish Dune nerds and buy the books (I don't think, that they sell English books in shops) ... I have to get lot of money and fast! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireSnake Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I saw quite many Dune books in Helsinki, Jack Leaf. You know - that shop next to Stockman... Uh... "Suomalainen Kirjakauppa". They were English as I recall. Now, if You'll excuse me I'll go and pount my head into the wall for not buying those books when I had the chance. :P - Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Leaf Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Oh.. "Suomalainen Kirjakauppa", allmost forgot that :- Last time I visited it, there was no Dune books avaible! ???Oh, you are from "Eesti" ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 It's simply meant as a representation of Duncan's "prison." It's not supposed to be 100% accurate to the books.

bilde88 Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 How could a big block of stone lift off into space. And besides, I dont think the dessert actually reached the no-ship during that book. Might be wrong though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoDevilbane Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 It's the Chapterhouse. :) Shit, I don't know what it was supposed to be.- Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I always thought it was the Chapterhouse building, and not a noship as it is too large for a noship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I don't think it would be the Chapterhouse building for a few reasons:-The Chapterhouse was pretty much a town or complex. Remember the orchards and gardens? There were tons of people who took care of those, as well as performing other tasks, such as Clairby. That's not even including the Acolytes and Reverend Mothers.-Note the round edges at the bottom. That would be a bit impractical, no?Also, keep in mind that the cover is not made by Mr. Herbert. The artist could simply have exaggerated the size to show the fantastic nature of the book. Same goes for those megaliths in the foreground.
