  Already present in this torrent of mine:
  http://audiobookbay.la/audio-books/frank-herbert-collection-frank-herbert-and-others/

  Better quality, m4b format.

  This is a re-post of torrent #53732 I previously uploaded in May 2011 (now deleted).

  I happened to notice that the cover image I’d used there was no longer available, tracked down a new one, and once I’d started editing that share, I just kept going until I’d updated every single field.

  At that point, I figured that, having invested at least as much effort into the restoration as I would into a fresh submission, doing it this way instead would be the cleaner way to go, and would simply make more sense! :P

  ^^ Thanks for the pointer!

  To be honest, there are so many “Dune” torrents at this point that having to wade through all of them to find one particular recording has become a genuine hassle.

  Ordinarily, “find one particular recording” isn’t of particular importance, but I find this one to be something of a special case, as you can likely tell from my enthusiastic endorsement at the bottom of the torrent description. ;)

  ps: George Guidall’s name is misspelled “Guidel” there, so even with a full-text search, people looking for this particular version are going to have a tough time finding it…

  Beautiful old cover of the classic book.

  Surely they’re talking about the Guidall version of “Dune”, which is indeed m4b at a higher bitrate. :)

  Imagine if this book was released this year.
  It would be shred into pieces as glorification of ISIS.

  @Silesian He’d be wise to delay publication for a while

  ^^ Heh.

  Rationally, that makes very little sense, as identifying the “jihadi” Fremen with ISIS would imply (self-)identifying the enemies of ISIS with the Harkonnen… and that ought to be too unpalatable to contemplate!

  Which is not to say you don’t have a point - when have “shredders” ever been concerned with rationality, after all? :)

  90% of the “Dune” torrents are the fanfic crap by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson anyway.

  There is an excellent multi-reader version of “Dune”
  http://audiobookbay.la/audio-books/dune-2007-full-cast-recording-frank-herbert/ or
  http://audiobookbay.la/audio-books/dune-frank-herbert/
  – complete text, not a “Graphic Audio-ised” one.

  ^ I only ever listened to snippets of it, as I’m one of those people who simply cannot stomach Scott Brick’s grating voice and over-dramatized delivery. Said Brick-less snippets I found to be a decent effort but in no way outstanding.

  Of course, this is all highly subjective and my preference may well be heavily influenced by this being the version I happened to listen to originally…

  … that’s how it seems to work with those who prefer the Fry and those who prefer Dale for “Harry Potter”, from what I’ve seen. :)

  Did you even listen to this before you uploaded it? It’s the same awful Simon Vance version that’s everywhere else. Very disappointed :(

  “I’m one of those people who simply cannot stomach Scott Brick’s grating voice and over-dramatized delivery.”

  Me too, an awful narrator.

  Me too, with you all the way! Maybe, with the movie coming out soon, we will get new audiobook versions with new narrators?
