Jeez, what a deal! Sorry you had to let go so "cheap". I simply cannot understand how these books haven't skyrocketed like some other (lesser) books out there. These are some of the most gorgeous books ever produced- by one of "our" finest authors. They should run at least $1K each, to my mind. (There's a few of these head-scratchers for me out there: The Charnel House edition of Garton's THE NEW NEIGHBOR is another. That absolutely gorgeous book is still easily had for cover price ($150)- or less- all these years later. Even as Charnel House continues to cement itself as one of the most important genre small presses ever. Go figure).

Anyway, best of luck with everything.

It is odd to see what does and does not go way up in value. I just purchased a hill house Ray Bradbury signed/#d on eBay for $40. I think that book was $200 new. I don't care really what it winds up being worth. I now own something signed by one of my childhood idols.

It is odd to see what does and does not go way up in value. I just purchased a hill house Ray Bradbury signed/#d on eBay for $40. I think that book was $200 new. I don't care really what it winds up being worth. I now own something signed by one of my childhood idols.

I keep missing this deal! I'll have to make a better effort to snag one.

Received my signed illustrated NEVERWHERE from Barnes & Noble yesterday. Typical less-than-perfect copy from B&N. As much as they and I go way back, and as much of a soft spot I have for them as virtually the LAST chain bookstore out there- I've given up on them mailing me a decent copy of anything over the last several years.

Curiously, the US edition is unjacketed. I like the UK better.

My copy went through several carries plus dreaded UPS to get to me in Canada, and it was in perfect condition. I get books from B&N a few times a year, always these signed editions, and I've never had a problem of one being damaged or less than pristine.

I have a pretty unusual bit of Gaiman ephemera for sale. It's called Alan Moore's Songbook and features a poem illustrated by Gaiman. The book is a 64 page paperback (standard comic book dimensions), the story Gaiman illustrated is 7 pages. How's $12 shipped sound?

Very nice edition - congrats

[lotuz]

That's a gorgeous book! Sub Press has done some really beautiful lettered editions, but it's hard to tell when they are going to pull out all the stops or when they are going to phone it in (e.g. produce lettered editions that are no different from the numbered, just with slightly nicer materials and a traycase). I guess one clue is in the price, like this one listed at $900 versus the $250 books. But the descriptions are always the same: "hand bound in the finest materials with a custom traycase"...

Anyway, great grab - I'd love to have a copy on my shelf one day!!

Thank you everyone!
This was quite a December for me with Gaiman.
Smoke and Mirrors and The Graveyard book in lettered state were super difficult to find the last two years. I hope someone on this forum owns a copy because in my mind both books are the pinnacle of publishing creativity and craftsmanship.
And I do agree that sometimes the only way to determine if Lettered edition is much more than a Limited with a traycase is to look at the issue price.

[WeDealInLead]

Sandman Overture is (of course) getting the Absolute treatment. Amazon product description has it at just north of 400 pages. The hardcover is 224 pages and that already includes around 30 pages of bonus material.

This also means an updated Sandman all-in-one compendium. And an annotated Overture. And then an anniversary edition of Overture. And then an anniversary of the new compendium. Heck, let's not forget the instocktrades.com variants.

I can't think of a single working writer who publishes so little new material and still manages to have a "new" book hit the shelves every few months. And on that tip, the most recent noir-styled paperbacks are now out in a slipcase.

Collecting Gaiman, Hill, and Rowling has stopped being fun and it's now exhausting and defeating.

I am right there with you. I have pretty much stopped collecting Joe Hill. His latest writing is not as good as his earlier work to me. Sometimes I wish I had never started collecting him in the first place. As for Gaiman, I'm only looking to buy new work in the future. No more reprints, no more Sandman, etc. I have enough Gaiman sigs in my collection to last me.

I totally agree with this. I understand that he is very busy in a lot of different directions and mediums and medias, but- i wish he'd write more freaking "grown up" novels. Even counting 2013's slim "Ocean", it's been over a dozen years since the one before that (Anansi Boys). I don't think we can even call him a "novelist" at this point- which is fine. It's not my career. But, it does almost feel like he's purposely been avoiding a proper American God's sequel, for whatever reasons. I believe he is finally going to do it next, but- people might not care as much anymore if he waits much longer.

I will pick up the absolute edition, to complete the set. (and in my mind these are the best quality editions of the sandman work) I wont worry about any other reprints/variants though. I dont feel the need to collect everything!

I can see the point in some of them though..i didnt pick up the 'noir style' PBs at the time, but if I wanted them now I would probably pick up a nice slipcase edition - but if already had them I wouldnt bother.

Add GRRM to the list of endless reprints though.. I am not sure how many versions of GOT anyone really needs now!

I am pretty sure a sequel to neverwhere ('seven sisters') was touted as his next book. I guess its hard to find time for full on novel writing at the moment - he has been writing for American Gods, script writing and showrunning for the current filming of the Good Omens series in the UK and then before those we had Norse Mythology - and a bit earlier he had the View from the cheap seats collections (and a new son arriving!).

Hopefully after the Neverwhere sequel more books will follow and I wouldnt be surprise if a return to the AG world was on the cards

[lotuz]

I do have to say that I love the covers of the 'noir style' PBs... I wish the were hardcover dustjackets so I could frame a set of them.

tbh I was never really taken with Joe's writing. I sold on the few s/l's that I had and I cant say that I miss them! But we all have different tastes and clearly a lot of people do like his work.

What's the view on the Sandman series from the Gaiman fans?

I've just finished, and thoroughly enjoyed, Joe Hill's Locke & Key, so i'm looking for another graphic novel series to sink my teeth into and wondering if Sandman might be a good place to start.

It's the best thing Gaiman has done IMO.

Personally, no, but i thought I would try them from someone else's recommendation. As this book is relatively low cost (and shipped free to a US address) I figured it was a good purchase to try them on!
I would be happy to provide feedback afterwards though.

One interesting option they offer is to repack to smaller boxes! I figure this is aimed more at purchases from somewhere like Amazon but it could be dangerous if someone tries to save a small amount on an expensive item that really warrants the extra packing!

I believe that Ari is using a similar american service

On a side note I'm really enjoying adding signed Easton books to my collection. There's just something about them I really like.

[somekindofstranger]

Not a book, but this is something pretty cool I added to my collection recently - its an artist proof copy of the recent print offered by Neverwear, signed by both Neil and the artist David Mack.

I must get round to starting a 'my non-king collection' thread soon, but at the moment most of my books are in boxes whilst we decorate a couple of rooms...but they will be heading into new bookcases when we are finished :-)

The Graveyard Book from Easton Press arrived today. Its rather nice...I may have to go and try and pick up their previous Gaiman books now!

[somekindofstranger]

In regards to my use of a mail-forwarding company (Stackry) to ship this from the US to the UK, a few people had asked about my experience - on this first use of their service, I would have to give them 5*. No hassle at all.

I thought it might be useful to breakdown the process (and the costs) for anyone that was interested

After creating an account with Stackry I was issued a mailing address and I then used this as the shipping address for my Easton Press order.

The book was shipped from Easton Press on May23. It arrived at my Stackry account on May 29 (but there was a 3 day holiday weekend during this period)

I received a notification from Stackry the same day. They confirmed the pacel size/weight (12 x 7 x 2 inches / 2lb weight) and asked my to provide an item description and value. I found this useful as it meant I could make sure the item was correctly described as BOOK/PRINTED MATERIAL in order to not pay import duty (books are not taxable in the UK but I have to pay customs on some before due to badly worded custom label!)

At this stage I could select for them to repack my item to a smaller box for a fee of $5, or indicate if I wanted them to ship in the original packaging. In this case I retained the original packing.

I was then presented with numerous shipping options with estimated delivery time and costs as outlined below:

Global Mail Direct / 6-15 days / $15.64
DHL Worldwide Express / 3-8 days / $36.04
FedEX Intl Economy / 3-8 days / $50.84
FedEX Intl Priority / 2-5 days / $55.10
USPS Priority / 8-14 days / $66.13
USPS Express / 4-8 days / $79.42

As I signed up via a recomendation link, I had a $10 shipping voucher to use. I selected the Global Mail Direct option and therefore paid $5.64 for shipping.

After completing all this (and making payment by PayPal) , I received a shipping notice the next day (30th) with tracking links.
The parcel cleared customs in the UK on June 3rd and arrived to me on June 5th, so in all it only took 1 week to ship.
(note - international shipping was managed by DHL, UK delivery by Yodel)

So as far as a test run went, this was very succesful. They would have held my parcel for 45days at no charge, so if I had multiple orders to manage, I could stockpile them to one consignment and in theory save on postage by shipping them all as one delivery. My online account gives me access to all my order information and communication from them was very good indeed.

Stackry are also open about their shipping costs. see the calcualtor here: https://www.stackry.com/en/shipping-calculator

(and if anyone wants to sign up via a referal link, if you use this we both get a $10 voucher!: https://www.stackry.com/register?referral=7126903 )

Ah thanks for that info. I did wonder how similar to the Subpress edition this would be (I missed that one and am yet to find a copy at a reasonable price!)

Has Gaiman completely stopped writing fiction?

[mikeC]

Isn't the Norse Mythology book fiction? Would be nice to get a new book from him though.

[Booknutt]

Well he has been busy bringing the TV series Good Omens to life. He wrote all the episodes and was show runner on the series.

I think his non-fiction is on point

Even when it’s only a tweet.

[somekindofstranger]

Well he has been busy bringing the TV series Good Omens to life. He wrote all the episodes and was show runner on the series.

Plus his involvement in American Gods Series 2 (and presumably now working on S3), and his 'overseeing' role on a new TV adaptation of Gormenghast.

We know he has the Neverwhere sequel on the go ('Seven Sisters') so I assume that will be the next fiction book we get, but I am not really expecting that for some time yet.

Not sure how this new Folio edition of Anansi Boys snuck in (along with a very cool looking Something Wicked This Way Comes and a new Jules Verne- don't they usually do big teaser lead ups to new books?)- it looks pretty great, but I hate when they double the price on the Gaiman titles. It'll never replace the triumphant Hill House edition (still among the nicest books I've ever seen), but- I'm sure I'll spring for a copy at some point. https://www.foliosociety.com/usa/anansi-boys.html

Maybe we're looking at a different page but I see five different editions, every single one with different content, limitation, and price. Yes, only two are signed by Gaiman but there are three more editions. Two are signed by the artist (but not Gaiman) so that's two "artist editions" right there.

My breakdown:

Regular edition
The frugal AE
Regular AE
S/L
Deluxe

I ignored the set of two Gollancz “regular/frugal” editions since nothing in that set is signed by the author.

[WeDealInLead]

Fair point but there are five editions, regardless of what we call them, only two of them signed by Gaiman. That's a pretty good mindset though; it doesn't interest me, ergo it doesn't exist.

I think I'm a little bitter because I'm jonesing for a new Gaiman book. I've read his recent graphic novels but it's just not the same.

[cit74]

True - there are 5 books - but again I looked at those lower 2 tier books as the regular publisher editions...since they’re releasing the “definitive” text or authors preferred, whatever you want to call it. But true there’s been many versions released but this the only one tied with a signed version. Sounds like after good omens show he plans to get back to writing...kids, marriage, 2 shows, etc will take away from writing I guess.

Can’t wait to see him this May - maybe then he’ll mention new writing projects

If anyone is on the fence about this, I received mine this past week and it’s really a beauty. If you’re intrigued by the art, it’s even cooler in person. Both the slipcase and the book have multiple textures, ranging from a slick gloss to a coarse fiber. And the black page edges with the green spiderwebs are just a cool idea (but, admittedly, I’m a sucker for stuff like that).

For those of you into the AG graphic novels:

https://cbldf.myshopify.com/collections/signed-graphic-novels/neil-gaiman

These are signed on a bookplate - but a great fund, one started by Gaiman - and I subscribe to their newsletter - very sad reading at times (in that places in the US are banning books for various reasons) - but I like to hear about this particular news. I order from them regularly - since they recently had signed copies of Saga, Umbrella academy, Deadly Class - just to name a few - and oh yeah - any new Gaiman title that comes across...and they had the D&D Rick and Morty signed by Rothfuss too

The first volume of AG was listed as sold out - but its back now too - no idea if its a first print; vol 2 should be though

Seeing Neil Gaiman next Sunday...guess I won't try to sneak a book in this time (like my copies of Duran Duran - which he did sign 2 years ago):

Hello,

Thank you for purchasing the Meet & Greet ticket for Neil Gaiman, coming up on Sunday, May 12, 2019. The Meet & Greet will begin at 7:00pm in the Schwing Salon (formerly known as the Fireside Room) just inside the north entrance to the lobby. Please have your ticket handy when you arrive.

Photos will be taken on your personal cell phones or cameras. We kindly ask that you do not bring books or other materials for autographs as Mr. Gaiman will not be publicly signing, however a number of signed books will be available for sale at the Copperfield’s Books booth in the center of our lobby. For any questions or concerns, please reach out to Sari Feinstein, Programming Manager at 707.800.7512.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you next Sunday!

Same with me. Signed copies of the script book are for sale, but I haven't seen the TV companion advertised for advance sale in a signed state.

[cit74]

looks like there is a TV companion book - but that won't be released until 21 May - I will see if there are any at the event - but it might be too early

[cit74]

Well we had a great evening last night - it was good to catch up and see Steve...and have a brief meeting and pic with Neil. I will try and post that pic later today. The meet n greet was a bit smaller than last time - but we still were able to spend a few minutes with Neil. As for the books - nothing new for anyone here - most of his books were available (except kids books) and mostly paperbacks, and no TV companion books...

But all told we were there from 7PM until 10PM - I think Neil must've started around 8:15 or so - and he spoke for a good long time - it was really nice (except that we had the loudest, most obnoxious person in the entire auditorium sitting right behind us - OMG - the most annoying, high pitched cackle - and it occurred with nearly everything he said - so besides that it was a wonderful evening).

Neil spent a great deal talking about Good Omens and how that came about - both the book and the TV series, and elaborated more on his relationship with Terry Pratchett (even though, I swear, he said Terry Gilliam - twice - and I have no idea if he had any relationship with the Monthy Python player). He read from several spots in Good Omens - which was cool - since I had not heard him read from there at any of the times that I have seen him. He also read click, clack, the rattle bag - which was great - now I need to play my audiophile of that one. He answered many questions and also read two poems - one of my all-time favorites - the day the saucers came (which I have a signed, framed print in my office) - and I am guessing its one of his favorites too - since he mentioned that and he read it last time he was in Santa Rosa. He also read Instructions at the end.

Again it was a wonderful evening - and I guess we should have the opportunity to see him in Santa Rosa in the future too - since he noted that he seems to come here more than any other place that he travels (in the world - for events) - and now we know the reason why - he has two grandchildren living in Santa Rosa - so they are family trips. I guess I need to spend more time in Santa Rosa around these events...I think this was the 4th or 5th time that I have seen him in this area - at least 4 were in Santa Rosa...makes sense.

Well that is all for now - feel free to ask any questions. Good Omens drops on Amazon Prime on 31 May - looking forward to it

You're right. I'll wait for a sale. I think the price is right but they'd sell faster if the books were sold individually with a few months in between. Or if Folio offered a payment plan for the set.

It's kind of sad I had to post this in the Neil Gaiman thread and Gene Wolfe doesn't even have one. He was a fantastic writer and these books were his masterpiece.

[ckovacs]

There are only limited views of the artwork and the books, and what I see doesn't grab me.

That's one of my all-time favorite series, and Gene Wolfe will always be one of my very favorite authors. I have the Centipede Press editions which are gorgeous, plus I have signed states of all of these: the original US hardcovers, the UK hardcovers, the uncorrected proofs, and the Easton Press editions. I probably don't need another set of these books...but still, I was tempted until I saw the photos.

FS produces some beautiful books, but they occasionally go full garish on us with some strange artwork choices (here, this description only applies to the covers).

It's time for another random and gratuitous mention of the artist behind some of the worst illustrations the world has ever seen (and used more than once by FS): the dubious David Hughes (Google away; prepare to recoil).

Aargh. I did as you suggested and the illustrations for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest make me wish I could unsee that. I don't want to google any more images of his work.

It reminds me of Dave McKean who I really like except this looks more like Dave drew with his off hand.

let us know if they offer any payment plan - that would be good info. Its tough selling a 4 book set, especially when $150 each (but I guess that would cut down shipping? A little?

[cit74]

Well - I broke down and purchased a set (with a little help from a friend...peer pressure). The books arrived today - and really are nice, I do like the artwork as well as Gaiman's intro - so really looking forward to reading these books. I guess I am glad that I ordered since they have since sold out on FS - about a week after going on sale. I admit I was quite surprised that they sold out so quickly.

I just opened mine. The books are gorgeous. I'm so glad I talked you into parting with your cash ;)

[lotuz]

I'm super grateful that WeDealInLead posted about this set - I got one as well and it is a beaut! And it's good to know that FS packs and ships their limited editions better than their regular editions (though I haven't had some of the problems that others have been having). I also thought that this was going to be available for longer than it was so I'm glad I didn't hesitate too much before pulling the trigger.

I think one reason that this set went quickly is because it's probably the last thing that Wolfe signed, so there won't ever be any more S/L Urth sets. Also, after the incredibly hard-to-find Centipede Press set, I think this is the next-prettiest set of these books. I don't love the EP version and I think the first editions are so-so. For what it is (the second-best version of perhaps the greatest literary SF series of all time, and the last set signed by the author before his death), I think this was a good grab!

With the Good Omens Script Book, there is the regular UK hardcover and the limited edition UK hardcover. But I've also discovered there are at least two different versions of the regular UK hardcover. One has a deleted sequence at the end with the Other Four Horsemen, and the second (from Waterstones) has two deleted sequences (the Other Four Horsemen plus a sequence in the 1800s in which Gabriel visits Aziraphale in his bookshop and tries to retire him).

Anyone know of any other variants?

I just finished the Script Book and it was a really fun read.

as far as I know there are 4:

-Waterstones UK edition with Exclusive content
-SIGNED waterstones UK edition with Exclusive content (same as the one above, but signed)
-Deluxe Signed UK edition (available at waterstones, foyles, forbidden planet) with extra exclusive content (this is a white cover)

I need to sit and compare the actual content differences though!

Yes, the two that I got (standard and Waterstones) are both signed, and the limited edition is still on the way to me.

Its a very nice catalogue. It actually came out five ago though - and its sat on my shelf ever since waiting for a slipcase, as I intended to get a custom one from somewhere to protect it (as its a paperback).
The first 25 orders also came with a print signed by Gary Amaro and Steve Leialoha (I got in just in time)

the signatures are on signed bookplates, which I dont usually like, but these are really good!

It don't see where it says this one is signed. I'm pretty sure the Waterstone copies were signed but I just don't see anything about it.

The deluxe limited edition version with the white cover is definitely signed. I ordered mine from Forbidden Planet. It's in the title (The Quite Nice And Fairly Accurate Good Omens Script Book (Deluxe Signed Limited Edition)) and in the description, which makes clear that it has more scenes that in the regular and the Waterstones versions:

White cloth boards with gold foil detail.
Endpapers printed with gold metallic pantone.
Extra material: four exclusive bonus sequences with introductions by Neil Gaiman and ‘Scribbles on Set’ from artist Lorna May Wadsworth – a series of bespoke black-and-white sketches from the Good Omens set.
Marker ribbon, head and tail bands.

Okay - just a few items of interest:
1) Finished watching Good Omens with the family - loved it, they did a wonderful job, acting was superb and loved how well they stuck to the book
2) very cool...but extremely pricey - even I won't bid on this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/183847849352
3) need a good read: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/jun/20/petition-netflix-cancel-amazon-prime-good-omens-christian-neil-gaiman-terry-pratchett?CMP=share_btn_fb&fbclid=IwAR3yME63oyLDGwHfbqGnCxkIfdCg4OpgLiIdH8VcV-Ee2331_wpO6wUbyXU
4) lastly - I have a new Gaiman Pride and Joy/Grail item in the mail...should have it in hand by middle of next week :)

[ckovacs]

The white signed limited edition of the Good Omens Script Book arrived yesterday. It has five deleted scenes...the one common to all the books, and then four scenes not in the others: "In which Aziraphale meets the neighbours," "In which Crowley gets drunk with Leonardo da Vinci," "In which Aziraphale searches for a body," and "In which Crowley goes clothes shopping."

And so the extra scene in the Waterstones edition is indeed exclusive to it, and not in this limited edition.

The limited also contains a sketchbook of scenes by an artist who visited the set.

Just got the Ineffable Good Omens today - wow did they go above and boyend, a ton of extra stuff to go through too and a very nice job with the book. The case - being of cardboard in nature - was well thought out and cool - but could easily split - as mine did in one corner (I need to send Tham an email to replace mine - and I would not store the book in the replacement - if you get one - you will see what I mean. Just from the book sliding a bit in transit would cause a corner to split. Other than that it was a fine job - now we will see if they answer an email regarding the case.

[somekindofstranger]

info on the Celestial edition of Good Omens, which was sent out to those who enquired. Its too much for me! (Guess I will go and buy an Ineffable Edition now then!)

Price including UK delivery* by specialist art couriers is £6,666 per copy.
A number of these books are available to reserve upon payment of a 50% deposit.

This rare presentation copy is a serious investment for the book and art collector. The craftmanship in this edition elevates every tome to a printed masterpiece.
Each copy is individually printed and hand bound by artisans in the UK.
The leather-cased hardback features bespoke metal corner pieces, hand-marbled endpapers and gold foiled page edges.
Dedicated signature pages, signed by Terry Pratchett’s co-author Neil Gaiman and artist Paul Kidby, correspond to the twenty-four letters of the Greek alphabet.
The book contains 20 colour illustrations, and further pencil art and graphics, printed using state of the art printing and foiling techniques.
The volume is presented in a tailor-made burr oak box, with winged hourglass metal inlays, and an inset brass disc inscribed with the Greek character unique to each copy.
Inside, a secret compartment reveals further Good Omens bounty: an envelope of fourteen items of ephemera including maps, prophecy cards and unique art prints.
Also contained within the box is a hardbound copy of never-before-published William the Antichrist, the very first inception of the Good Omens story written by Neil Gaiman over thirty years ago.

Overall we believe we have created a truly Celestial edition.

They used to run a site together but now Sandra and Jo run Discworld.com and paul has his own site (incidentally, his non-discworld art is excellent too!).
It all seems very amicable and all Paul's discworld related books and art are sold on both sites.

I would imagine so - they did a fine job. They also sent me a replacement case and it arrived lickety split - although I’m not using the new case. I might advise others to keep the book on a shelf outside of the case instead of storing in case if you plan on removing the book; I could foresee issues w the corners- it is just a cardboard case

I have a special fondness for The Ocean at the End of the Lane because Neil named a character in the book after me.

And now there will be a newly illustrated edition of this book. Here is a link to the forthcoming signed, slipcased, limited edition at Waterstones:

https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-ocean-at-the-end-of-the-lane/neil-gaiman/9781472270726

Thanks for the link! Does anyone happen to know if there will be a US equivalent edition?

Harper Collins will be publishing an unsigned edition which is shown on their website plus Amazon etc. But so far, no word on a signed limited edition. They didn’t do it for the Good Omens Script Book either and released only a trade paperback.

May I ask the story behind it?

Oh, I had won a charity auction where the prize was getting a character in Neil's next novel named after me. And then time passed and he wasn't writing a novel. I had dinner with him one evening, together with my wife and kids, and he mentioned working on a short story that had become longer than planned and wasn't quite a novel but might become one. I reminded him about the auction thing.

Neil said, "right, that's you!" and pulled out his notebook and made a notation in it. He then asked me to print my name clearly in it.

"How would you like to be a South African diamond miner who commits suicide?"

"Sounds good to me."

My wife suggested that the character should have as gruesome a death as possible.

Later Neil sent me a pdf of the draft manuscript, and I'd been changed from the diamond miner to a recalled childhood companion of the narrator. No suicide, no gruesome death, just an innocent childhood buddy.

My wife said I got off easy.

[ELazansky]

So I have been looking for a s/l of Angels and Visitations for years, but every one was priced way too high for my taste. I finally found one on eBay for around $200, so I went ahead and purchased it. Weird thing is that it is a lettered edition:

Yes, Congrats on HH's AG! The Cornerstone of any respectable NG collection (although I think HH's Anansi Boys is even more beautifully done). Can't believe these things are still readily available- and for a very reasonable price!

[cit74]

I would agree on AB - I am guessing that it is just not as popular a book? But very well done - I have a copy with an awesome spider Remarque and I love that one. Plus there is a glassine like paper with an embossed web - that is just loose in the book - I had it in one copy but not the other - I imagine these were easily lost - I think they were placed over the signature page

No, but I knew that when I purchased it. I have seen a few available at reasonable prices though, so thats my next purchase!

I thought only the lettered editions were 'matched' though and the reader copies for the numbered edition were not numbered themselves?

The readers copies were actually numbered - I have #95 & #47 I think its the first actual page - just a limitation number - nothing else

Although I can't speak to this particular book, a number of publishers (Arion Press, for example) use letters to denote the in-house copies reserved for authors/contributors/etc. If it's functionally identical to the "numbered" version, that's my guess as to what's happening here. :shrug:

re Angels & Visitations - I dont recall a lettered edition at all! Perhaps as suggested above they were intended for specific recipients? Maybe a quick email to dreamhaven might clear it up?

Here is the response from Dreamhaven:

[ckovacs]

A week ago or thereabouts, Neil tweeted about how he'd signed 500 copies of a limited edition of the BluRay and DVD editions of the Good Omens miniseries. These are exclusive for sale in the UK, but I noticed that some of them have started appearing on eBay in anticipation of their imminent release, and reasonably priced, too. I haven't heard about any such release for North America.

Mine had a matching number and I later got it signed by Neil. When I also got the lettered edition, the publisher didn't send a matching reader's copy because I only needed the one. In retrospect, I suppose I could have asked for a matching lettered copy.

The steel book is sold out - but you can still get the regular blu ray or dvd:

Looks like he signed 500 cards total and these were dispersed between the 3 versions. Plus you can only ship to UK address - I tried to order a copy - couldn’t. So I just got the copy on eBay - wasn’t much more than the one in website - like £12 and regular blu Ray was only £5 more

Looks like Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett is coming soon to the Easton Press 'Modern Signed Editions' collection. These are usually $99

Amanda Palmer posted a video on Twitter of their son drawing all over the tip in sheets for it! (although Neil did later clarify these were scrap copies as they spelt his name incorrectly on them)

[somekindofstranger]

Also, I attended 2 Neil events in London this week.

Last night was an event with Neil and illustrator Elise Hurst talking about the new illustrated Ocean at the end of the lane.
I picked up a double-signed edition at the event (came with the ticket) and it is a very beautiful edition indeed - the paperstock is fantastic.
(I also have the UK Limited Edition on order from Waterstones, but Forbidden Planet still have copies)

On Tuesday I went to see Neil perform with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. One of my favourite Neil events ever! Readings interspersed with chosen classical music tracks.
Amanda performed Mushroom Hunters and later did a beutiful rendition of 'A nightingale sang in Berkely Square' (used in the closing scenes of Good Omens).
David Tennant appeared and did a fabulous reading from Good Omens as well.

The event overran its scheduled time by almost an hour, and afterwards I was lucky enough to have been able to attend the aftershow 'gathering' where I was able to briefly talk to Neil (and get my latest print from Neverwear signed&personalised, as well as Amanda, Dirk Maggs (radio producer) and Hayley Campbell. Author Armistead Maupin was also there but I didnt get the chance to speak with him (unlike my friend who managed a selfie with Armistead and Neil at the bar!)

Both were great nights, but Tuesday will take some beating for me! Still bouncing about it! (The event itself will be broadcast online on BBC Radio 3 on 23rd December, and highlights on Radio4 on 25th December)

will post pics of the books and print when I get a chance!

I suspect it is still in stock there because I had it on preorder from them from a couple days after they posted it. Their policy is to email shipping price to the us and wait for confirmation. I’ve ordered a couple Times and while not the smoothest process it wasn’t the most expensive. Shipping overseas is always pricey but shipping from the UK has gotten pretty cheap. This time when they emailed me they wanted almost $65 US to ship one book. I told them That shipping fee was ridiculous and they blamed it on Brexit so I canceled the order. Found it on eBay from a UK bookseller for US$10 shipped

Hi guys

Does anyone know how many different limited editions of The Truth Is A Cave In The Black Mountains there is and what are the differences? Can't seems to find the info on the internet.

There are two, one from William Morrow in the US and the other from Headline in the UK. Both consist of traycases containing the book and CD, and each book is signed by both Campbell and Gaiman. There are a few extra illustrated pages at the end as compared to the regular edition. The US edition is limited to 3,000 copies while the UK edition is limited to 250. The only differences between them are in the limitation page, copyright information, publisher's name on the title page and spine, etc. Other than that it seem like the same printer produced both because the quality and type of materials seems the same between them. Each traycase comes in a fitted cardboard box that shows the limitation number and has a label naming the contents, and those labels are identical apart from the publisher's name. The CDs are no different in their labelling.

Over the next few days I’m putting up several Gaiman and Gaiman related items on eBay. I’m thinning out my collection. I put up four today and will be putting a few up each day over the next few days.
Here’s one of the more unique items.http://ebay.us/XgRprW?cmpnId=5338273189

Got a bit behind on my Gaiman collecting (like Lansdale, sometimes there's just a flood of stuff and I have to check out for a bit). Does anyone know the deal with the recent illustrated "Ocean": I see a UK one that is limited to 1000, signed by author and illustrator and has a separate print. Do they all come with the print? Also, is the signed, slipcased edition a lighter color than the standard edition? I also see several signed- but not numbered or slipcased- copies. Was there one of those UK Bookstore exclusives jobs..?

The UK limited edition is slipcased, a much lighter color than the regular edition, and the print is signed by the illustrator with the matching limitation number. I bought only that one because I have so many editions of this book. The regular UK hardcover was probably signed at events; I don't recall seeing a bookstore exclusive, but I may have missed it. The US hardcover is similar to the regular UK hardcover.

Thanks! So, to be clear(er)- ALL of the 1000 UK signed slipcased copies come with a matching numbered print? It's loose laid in?

Yes, the print and the book have matching limitation numbers because they were issued together. The print is a little smaller than the height and width of the book, and it is loosely laid in. Bears the signature of the artist only.

I recall now that there were some reading events and that's likely where the signed copies of the regular hardcover originated.
