The Worlds of Frank Herbert; Signed by Frank Herbert

First mass market edition of this collection of nine short stories by the author of Dune. Octodecimo, original pictorial wrappers, all edges stained orange. Boldly signed by Frank Herbert on the title page beneath his name. In near fine condition.

Frank Herbert (1920–1986) was an American science fiction author best known for the Dune series, which redefined the genre through its integration of ecology, politics, religion, and evolutionary theory. The Worlds of Frank Herbert (1970) is a collection of nine previously published science fiction short stories and novelettes that exemplify Herbert’s recurring concerns with future societies, political systems, ecology, intelligence, and human adaptation. The volume brings together standalone works such as “The Tactful Saboteur” and “The GM Effect,” each constructing a distinct speculative world governed by rigorous internal logic.
