As the highly anticipated premiere of Dune: Prophecy on HBO approaches this Sunday, December 17, fans of the sci-fi franchise have a golden opportunity to stock up on Dune books at Amazon, thanks to the retailer's Buy Two, Get One Free Book Sale. This promotion covers a wide range of titles, from the luxurious Deluxe Editions of Frank Herbert's original Dune trilogy to the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, which served as the inspiration for the new TV show. Additionally, Amazon is offering the Dune 2-Film Collection on 4K Blu-ray for just $39, perfect for those inspired by Prophecy to revisit Denis Villeneuve's recent adaptations. Note that Prophecy is positioned as a prequel to the films. Collectors should also be aware that Walmart has a new steelbook edition of Dune: Part Two available for preorder at $30, set to release on November 19.
For those looking to acquire Frank Herbert's Dune novels at the lowest cost, adding all six paperbacks to your cart will get you the complete original series for only $32, which is about 50% off. All these books qualify for the B2G1 free deal, meaning you'll essentially get two for free. Published in 2023, the stunning Dune Deluxe Edition hardcovers feature stained edges, foil-stamped cases, illustrated endpapers, and posters inside the dust jackets. Currently, only the original trilogy is available in this premium format, but future releases may expand this collection. All three Deluxe Editions are part of the B2G1 free promotion, allowing you to purchase Dune, Dune: Messiah, and Children of Dune for approximately $57 total, a significant discount from their $50 list price each.
The Dune Saga 3-Book Deluxe Edition Box Set is also eligible for Amazon's promotion but currently costs $80. This set includes an attractive slipcase, so you'll need to decide if the extra $23 is worth it. To take advantage of the B2G1 free deal with the box set, ensure you select the option shipped and sold by Amazon for $80; otherwise, it won't qualify.
Brian Herbert (Frank Herbert's son) and Kevin J. Anderson have co-authored several Dune trilogies, both prequels and sequels to Frank Herbert's original saga. One such trilogy is the Great Schools of Dune, which provided the foundation for the new HBO series Prophecy. While Prophecy is a prequel to the movies, it significantly differs from the Great Schools of Dune, making it intriguing to read the books alongside the show. The first book in the series, Sisterhood of Dune, received a new paperback edition ahead of the show's premiere, though it isn't eligible for Amazon's B2G1 Free Book Sale. However, the mass market paperback edition is included. The third book in the trilogy, Navigators of Dune, is also part of the promotion, but Mentats of Dune, the second book, is not.
The graphic novel adaptation of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson is featured in Amazon's promotion, including the Deluxe Collector's Editions. Book 3, the conclusion of the adaptation, isn't in the B2G1 sale, but Amazon offers a coupon deal that reduces its price to just $10. Additionally, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's ongoing graphic novel adaptation of their Prelude to Dune trilogy is available with the B2G1 free offer. This series begins with House Atreides and continues with House Harkonnen, culminating in a two-volume arc focused on House Corrino.
Here are the four Prelude to Dune graphic novels included in the promotion:
