Thanks Infinitii, that’s awesome. And you’re right it was the one I found, the expensive one, I mean. I’m a feather collector and I was always amazed that no such book existed, which is what started my search to begin with. You rock!
Sadly, most of Frank Herbert’s lesser novels and short story collections are also long out of print and disappearing. It makes it very hard to recommend the books to others, or loan them in fear of ever getting a replacement copy.
Fortunately, I’m a completist and they are all (along with the Encyclopedia and my precious Dune Pop-up Book) happily staring at me from my bookshelf. Yes, my pretties… 
It really is sad that so many of Frank Herbert’s genuine works are pretty unavailable, while the excrement that his son and Kevin Hackerson squat out actually outnumber the real thing on bookstore (and even library) shelves…
Great, I’m glad someone else was excited by this news.
Oh my God! You are the Internet Herakles. I simply hadn’t found that copy. I’ve got it in my shopping cart now. Thank you!
Also, I like Matyszak so I shall look your recommendation up.
I feel your pain re. Homer’s unwillingness to provide professional reference. He was absolutely no help in uni. He wouldn’t even confirm he’d ever actually existed! The cheek!
My high school Latin teacher had an old copy of The Aeneid which was a ‘transliteration’ - it had each original Latin sentence followed by a literal translation (not a poetic translation) of that line in English. I tried looking for something like that for years but haven’t found any. I’d also like to find something similar for popular Spanish novels…
jackdavinci, have you tried the Loeb Classical Library series? It’s not an interlinear translation, but it does have the Greek/Latin text and an English translation on facing pages. The translations tend to be fairly literal. Also (my favorite feature) their dimensions are about 6 1/2 inches by 4 1/2, which makes them easy to carry along with you.
And, you book-finding wizards, a challenge for you: I’d like a copy of Barend A van Nooten and Gary B Holland’s “Rig Veda : A Metrically Restored Text With an Introduction and Notes” for less than $500.
Was it like this? (hopefully the link works): The Aeneid: Interlinear Translation - Virgil - Google Books
That edition is commonly available, but its apparently only half the Aeneid.
And to F.Pu-du-he-pa-as, I’m sorry, no luck. Every copy I’m seeing starts at exactly $500.
That’s exactly it! I wonder where I can find the other half lol…
