One of my local charity shops had nearly all the Dune books on the shelf when I went in there on Saturday. Prompted by the posts in this thread I bought the trilogy of the first 3 books for 75p. Not my usual fare, but I can always give it away.

I read the first three Dune books when I was in college - I loved the first one, thought the 2nd was blah, thought the 3rd one was flat out terrible.
Never read a Frank Herbert after that.
YMMV, of course.
