I would have loved to proof it as well since I just started reading Dune for 
the first time a few days ago. When I tried to grab the book to proof at four 
this morning, it was gone. Hopefully, it gets proofed quickly so that I can 
read it in Braille as well as audio. My husband has gotten me interested in 
science fiction, so I would be willing to proof some of it as long as there are 
no aliens involved. :)  Chanelle
