It’s increasingly difficult to get the Farsi edition shipped. I was fortunate enough to get both of the editions in print at the time & have the translator sign both of them. (Thanks to a fellow collector who had connections!)

Some of my favorite items in my #Dune collection.

The Franklin Stove by Joyce E. Chaplin.
Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Stephen R. Lawhead books! I have a whole shelf of his works, but these are some of my favorites. I’d love to someday have matching hardcover editions of the Pendragon Cycle.
