What are the hidden origins of the Spacing Guild? Where did the techniques for spice-trance navigation develop? Just a hint of the information contained within the pages of this unique encyclopedia -- along with poetry from the Imperium, Fremen lore, legends, even illustrations of Sardaukar Medals, the Giant Sandworm of Arrakis and more!
