htaccess - 2011-08-06 11:20 PM Anyone know what the story is with this book and the hugos? 1966 Hugo Nominated 1967 Hugo Winner The Hugo award allows for a book to be reconsidered if the book has been substantially changed or amended from a previous version that was somehow flawed. There are a couple cases of this that I'm aware of. Moon and Dune. You'll see Dune was nominated in '64 (listed as the original title "Dune World" ) and '65, which it won. In both cases the initial nomination was for the serialized version: Dune from Analog and Moon from If. When they were later published in book form they were both revised and expanded and thus counted as different books. I read somewhere that back in the day getting a nomination for the Hugo as a serial was often the catalyst for printing as a novel. The publisher knew they had a sure thing at that point.
