So I found a mass market paperback copy of Dune for free but it's ~900 pages, when I read it as a kid it had the exact same cover art but it was probably ~400 pages. Are these different versions?
Are there any Dune experts on /lit/?

It's probably a smaller format with larger text.

Same book, just different size fonts and formats like >>11189994 said.

Just going to back up what those guys said, I have that huge black brick copy, and an older paperback from the 80s.

It is not just larger font, also has wider margins.
