Hunters of Dune Book-Signing Tour

For each of our DUNE novels, Brian and I have done an extensive (and exhausting) book-signing tour, covering various parts of the United States. I also did a tour in the UK for HOUSE ATREIDES.

This year, because we have autographed, numbered, and randomly distributed 10,000 copies of HUNTERS, we'll be doing a fairly short tour. We have received some queries about the signed and numbered copies -- these sheets will be inserted at the bindery and randomly distributed to bookstores around the country. Tor's announced first printing is 200,000 copies of HUNTERS, so you'll have to go on a "treasure hunt" to your local bookstores in search of one of the special copies.

The following is our tentative tour schedule, as it currently stands:
