Subject says it all. I lost my old copy and was wondering if anyone who read the super long version could attest to it being good.
Also i know damn well that you cuckolds have read it, it's fantastic, so let's skip the t. genre pleb comments.
Which edition of pic related?

The SF Masterworks edition from Gollancz is a bog standard hardback, but that makes it more durable than any paperback. It can also be found cheaply, and I like the cover, pic related.

That black one with a bit of desert on it.

Reading this one now because it was cheap

Didn't know SF Masterworks had put out a copy - i'll probably get that, i've got a couple of other books from the same set.

Is nobody else going to point out to OP that there is no "super long version" of Dune? It doesn't exist. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, sure. King's The Stand, sure. Dune, no. One version only. Herbert first published two short SF novels, serialised in Analog Science Fact & Fiction, combined them into Dune, and got rejected a hundred times or so.

I did wonder whether he was referring to something from Reader's Digest that I wasn't aware of.
An abridged version could conceivably be better. I would get rid of the songs for one thing.

Intredasting. Were they the first part and a sequel, or something less obvious than that?
I can't remember any songs. Are you kidding? Or is OP somehow... right?
