  • Notes:
    • "Book Club Edition" printed at the bottom of the front flap of the dustjacket indicates a printing by Doubleday for its various book clubs.
    • The date of its publication as an alternate selection of the Science Fiction Book Club is unknown. Although the title was first published by Putnam in 1970, it didn't become a SFBC selection until its sequel Children of Dune became the SFBC main selection for November 1976. Its ID number and gutter code would indicate a publication date of December 1976, but it doesn't appear in any SFBC announcement flyer between November 1976 to January 1977. It may have been announced on a separate flyer accompanying the main catalog.
    • No printed price. Source for this record's price is unknown, but it is consistent with prices for SFBC printings at this time.
    • "3177" on the back flap of the dustjacket, by at least the Dec. '81 printing the number had moved to the back cover.
