Oh, I did not know this - thanks for the correction. I remember being told that it was compiled from his notes but I guess that was mistaken.

- duskwuff 5y ago> I remember being told that it was compiled from his notes but I guess that was mistaken. You may be confusing the Dune Encyclopedia with Brian Herbert's novels, which he claims are based on his father's notes (but probably aren't). Frank Herbert actually wrote a foreword to the Dune Encyclopedia, in which he noted that: "I must confess that I found it fascinating to re-enter here some of the sources on which the Chronicles are built. As the first 'Dune fan,' I give this encyclopedia my delighted approval, although I hold my own counsel on some of the issues still to be explored as the Chronicles unfold."
- beaconstudios 5y agoIt's very possible - in fact that Brian Herbert "fact" does ring a bell. Very unlikely to be true, given his books go off on a totally different, more Warhammer 40K-like direction.
