They have been Sold Out from Goldsboro for at least a month or two.

Awesome! I am so happy for you guys, Rick and TN! Wish I were there!

PS Publishing is selling the Super Deluxe Edition of Ocean, the one that Headline would not ship to the us, for 249 GBP - still a little too rich for me at the moment. The fact that they have 100 copies of them leads me to believe that Headline did not sell too many of them. http://www.pspublishing.co.uk/the-oc...man-1835-p.asp
I got a heart doodle with my personalization. Sweet

I nay have to snap up that ultra special edition. It looks gorgeous
With PS having bought 100 copies of the deluxe Ocean - I agree with Eric - in that it was not selling too briskly. I gotta imagine that they will have a "sale" on this one down the road and hopefully we can get it a lot cheaper. I will keep reading their newsletters to see if/when this happens.
getting ready to head out in a couple of hours to goto the signing tonight - from the sounds of last night I will need to bring food, water, and shelter with me (maybe even a fan)
Definitely a fan. Pick up one of those small battery operated ones and bring extra batteries. The only air conditioning we got all day and night was during the reception and then in the bar. For some reason no AC during the entire talk and signing. Brutal.

Yeah if it goes on sale please message me and let me know
Just got my UK slipcased s/n (#288) Ocean today from Goldsboro as well as a copy of Who killed Amanda Palmer - I will post some pics in a few days.
Nice!
I meant 288 - not sure how the emoticon made his way in there
You have to put a space between the 8 and the ) or else it's converted to the emoticon.

well its 0200 and we just got home - what a long f'in night. left to goto the city around 4pm - got down around 530 - had to do a little shopping to make my wife happy - doors open at 6 for 7pm start time. we get over there around 610 and the line is around the block. not too long of a wait - in our seats by 630 - but already up in the mezzanine. i was able to get a second book (both first printings - everything was). And Gaiman's reading (a long one) was wonderful - started about 715. Then he went through some Q&A - you had a chance to write down questions for him to answer (I was in the bathroom when these went around). After some questions he read a bit from his upcoming children's book - fortunately the milk - which was very funny (reminded me of hitchhikers guide - almost an homage to douglas adams). That finished around 830 - then the signing started - or the waiting for us. We didn't get our books signed until close to 11pm - or later - probably closer to 1130. However, the couple in front of us only had a copy of the ocean - so i was able to get them to get two more books signed 8) - one was his miracleman book 4 HC and Lenore book #3 (a very dark and funny comic book - which he had written the intro to). I will just wait until next week to post all of the new signed books - since there will be at least 5 more. Goodnight - i am beat.
(thanks about the 8) - I learned something new)
As I mentioned earlier neil read a bit of fortunately, the milk - from what he read it was very silly and fun. Reminded me of Douglas Adams and hitchhiker s guide to the galaxy. Anyway I got curious and searched it out on UK amazon site (I had already pre-ordered the us version). Well the uk book was a little more, has a different illustrator - Chris Riddell and is over 30 pages longer - I was intrigued so I ordered a copy. Here's the link if you like:

Sounds like everyone is having a long night when they go see Neil. Glad it was fun though!
Nice signed book, TN!

More dates added at neilgaiman.com. I'll be going to the Toronto signing in August too.
Okay - now this is interesting: Subpress just announced that they are carrying the ultimate Ocean as well - and that they have 40 copies. So between PS and SubPress they have 140 of the 260 copies - of a s/n that was on the market almost 2 weeks ago. Doesn't that show that they missed the original mark with the price point? The fact that more than 1/2 were sent to other publishers to try and sell - and if they bought them for close to that price (who knows) - how much will they be willing to drop the price to get them to sell. The subpress price is $450. I think these have to drop at least another $100-150 to sell. Anyway - just wanted to update.

Oh and the fact that I just bought the unabridged audio CD of the Ocean (the reading was wonderful, and my wife actually said - I would love to listen to that book - made getting her a birthday present this year a little easier) for $21 on amazon - makes that perk in the Ultimate edition even less necessary. btw if you are interested in his reading on Cd - there is an ultimate/complete set (from the UK) that includes coraline, odd and the frost giants, graveyard book and his kids stories for around $45 out there on ebay (I have one on order and can let you know how it sounds if interested - I think most of it is read by Gaiman).
