Chapter Epigraphs Source: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/18413447-dune---pre-read?page=1#comment_217081321

But the original source was this (highly recommended): https://dunenotes.wordpress.com/books-dune-chronicles-chapters-quotes/

I've added the audio times from the Audible (iTunes .m4a) Audio Book, but I used Winamp with PaceMaker which might make them a little off. The Word Counts were generated by Microsoft Word from the ebook. Values are approximate.

The Audible version does not have the appendices, but the Recorded Books version read by George Guidall does (Disc 20 tracks 6-22).

The Audible version does not have the appendicies, but the Books-on-Tape version read by Scott Brick does. The version found online ("Frank Herbert - D01 - Dune (Scott Brick) CD21b-Appendix.mp3") has a complete Appendix I (0:00:00 to 0:26:17), then there is a pop and it skips to "a different flavor", and then stops at "M’Lord Sandwich".
