TLDRA copy of the Dune Bible has been purchased at Christie’s Auction House in Paris for $3,160,062 USD, almost 110 times its presale estimate. The buyer: SpiceDAO, a decentralised anonymous organisation. The group has no legal right to reproduce any of the material in the book for profit. The copyright was co-owned by Moebius, Giger, and Jodorowsky, but given that they both died within the last decade chances of getting them on board look slim.via the TL;DR App
