Dune

One of the coolest gifts you can get for your favorite sci-fi geek. You're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but these new Penguin Galaxy hardcovers make it really hard.

Serious science fiction and fantasy readers cannot resist the classics. That's what makes the Penguin Galaxy series so appealing. Each of the novels here has earned its place in the halls of literary history. Their small form factor and minimalist covers call out to readers and make them fun to read all over again.

With daily reminders of the intensifying effects of global warming, the specter of a worldwide water shortage, and continued political upheaval in the oil-rich Middle East, it is possible that Dune is even more relevant.
