Preview of the Books!
Subakh ul kuhar!
Our journey together across the dunes has reached another milestone—for this month’s update, we’re delighted to share that we now hold the first early in-hand product shots of the campaign-exclusive covers, along with their matching slipcases!
Production is still ongoing, but these first looks confirm what we had hoped: through careful crafting, these stunning volumes are shaping up to be worthy of even the Bene Gesserit’s most precious archive.
See for yourself with the following images:
From the metallic gleam reminiscent of a crysknife’s blade, to the rich textures evoking the sands of Arrakis, these first images show how our vision is transforming from concept into artifact!
How gorgeous are these books?! As always, we’d love to hear your feedback below!

Casewrap Preview!
Subakh ul kuhar!
The spice must flow—and so must the secrets of our campaign progress!
In the time since our last update, we’ve made a Sandworm’s length leap in production of your books and rewards. In celebration of this, we’re thrilled to unveil your first-ever look at the full run of campaign-exclusive casewraps!
These beautifully designed books are a visual buffet of art and striking, foil-stamped designs inspired by the intricate artistry of Arrakis.
Each element of these exclusive casewraps was created to feel like a treasured heirloom from the Dune universe, from the metallic sheen of the emblem to the textured finish that echoes the shifting sands.
It’s details like this you won’t see in any bookstore edition and we are so excited to get these into your hands as quickly as we can!
What do you all think so far? We always love to hear your thoughts and reactions.
We’ll have more to share again soon, but that’s all we’ve got for this month! If you have any questions or need assistance with your order in the meantime, drop us a line at [email protected] for the quickest response.

Underwhelming... Especially the "signature cards". Did not even get a "Herbert" signature, was just a "B", the card is held in by what appears to be a single small dot of adhesive that does not hold the card in firmly at all, it moves around too easily. Yes, artwork is shown and there is no reason to expect anything different that what appears, however, it was very blah with no details (very few) on the larger slipcase spine and just the fronts of the smaller slipcases and actual book covers, all very generic. The included "print" seemed cheap and I would classify it as nothing more than a large promo postcard. It was that quality paper and print as well, and everything, i mean everything has a UPC code on it. Basically nothing seemed like much effort was put into it beyond the original mass market comic volume designs. Nothing, and I mean nothing justified my 1K pledge above the $500 or even lower tiers other than my love of the Dune universe and support for such projects. Something more should have been done for a 1 of 50 edition other than a color change. And I see why people have issues with damage. Thankfully I only had a very small crease in 1 corner, but the books were not sealed in any way, and were in a box much larger then they were with only 1 layer of bubble wrap which did not cover the entire contents.

I have damage that needs to be replaced. There is no answer to emails. Went and left a message over on Kickstarter on the Expanse project. Also no answer. I paid $500 and want pristine books and slipcase. I see others are having trouble, too.Where are you???

Did anyone ever get this? I checked all my emails on this pledge but wasn't able to find anything on this. Thanks!
