The Collectible Neil Gaiman

[cit74]

I got my Parcelforce shipping notice from Forbidden Plant - says Global Priority mail is scheduled to be delivered Saturday. Never seen something from the UK get here so fast. It better have been packed properly.

Mine will take a little longer - I added a book that won't be signed until 6 September. I have a bunch of the Brian froud books (faerie stories - they did the creatures for dark crystal, labyrinth, etc) - and their newest book comes out on the 6th and they have a signing. - so hopefully both books will be packed well.

Very nice addition - and price

Wtf - just came across this tonight while searching on google:

THE ENCHANTING NEIL GAIMAN
Photo: Kimberly Butler
With Michael Chabon

Neil Gaiman is one of fantasy’s most extraordinary innovators. Long considered a top writer of comics, he is also the creator of genre-defying prose, poetry, film, and drama for audiences of all ages. Gaiman’s award-winning works include the #1 New York Times bestselling adult novels The Ocean at the End of the Lane and Anansi Boys, the young adult novel Coraline, the TV series Neverwhere, and the groundbreaking Sandman comics series. He appears in conversation with author Michael Chabon.

"(Gaiman’s) mind is a dark fathomless ocean, and every time I sink into it, this world fades, replaced by one far more terrible and beautiful in which I will happily drown."
– New York Times

So Neil's speaking in the city in march - the site is screwy to order tickets - so I'm going to have to call tomorrow to see if anything is still available

Thanks chad and john

Got my copy of The Art of Neil Gaiman today - at least Forbidden Planet packed it well. The book was inside a bag, which was then put inside a bubble-wrapped bag. Then in a proper sized box with lots of paper around it. Book arrived in mint condition.

[ELazansky]

You can preorder the limited edition of Cave from Amazon for $53 http://www.amazon.com/Truth-Black-Mo...=9780062332103

It is not being produced by Sub Press. Lots of places online are offering the book for preorder.

[sharki69]

Thanks Eric. Ordered copy to be on the safe side (Amazon will not charge CC until shipping so nothing to loose...)

[Lookwhoitis]

Leftover copies of Smoke & Mirrors available on Sub Press' website.

Get em while you can...

WOW...I had it in my cart and ....puff.... it was gone.....

One lettered copy of Smoke and Mirrors available.

"
Have a look at the traycase for the lettered edition of Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors, the most complicated such beast we've ever attempted. We're packaging and shipping copies today and tomorrow.

For those interested, we have one copy of the lettered still available, as well as a small number of copies of the limited edition."

I saw the email about 10 minutes after it was sent - the lettered copy was already gone - not that I was going to buy it

[Patrick]

Just chiming in to say that:

I approved the shipping charge for the book from Forbidden Planet.

I have no intention of buying yet another version of TRUTH. I like story and I enjoyed the event, but enough is enough.

I said that too - got the art book - it is nice. But I asked caved (haha) and got the truth book on sale through amazon - it says it comes with a DVD (at first I thought it was another cd) - so if it has the reading from Carnegie hall or San Fran or Europe - then that interests me. In that case I'll just end up selling my single flat signed copy or send to my sister for her kids

[Patrick]

My ART book arrived from FP. I like it!

Chad, let me know what's on that DVD. Thanks.

I do like the art book as well - and of course I will update on the dvd - unfortunately still have to wait a few months for that one

Just got my tickets to see Amanda Palmer in SF - small venue - less than 500 seats - should be fun. She has a few more dates on her tour - and a few on the East Coast - she is having a "special" goes who she will be speaking with/interviewing at each event. Guess who is in Boston: Neil - might be worth trying to get to this one

i'm also going to be presenting a speciallll conversation/interview guest in each venue, not every city is confirmed, but they're going to be unique and they're going to be awesome.
so far, we have:
chicago: PETER SAGAL (my hero), the host of NPR's "wait wait don't tell me"
DC: THOMAS DOLBY, the amazing musician and TED-friend
boston: NEIL GAIMAN and JASON WEBLEY and maybe more
philly: KYLE CASSIDY
and with that, i am excited to finally announce:

Great, she's going to be in Philly on a Thursday night during the same week my daughter's school musical is running. No way I can get there. I would be neat to hear her. She seems like an interesting person.

Oh well. I did pre-order a signed copy of her new book from Porter Square Books. Support the whole independent store, etc.

I'll still send you my copy of Who Killed Amanda Palmer in case she has time to sign. That would be cool to have.

From her blog it sounds like she will have time to sign. Im planning on picking up her new book at the venue - although ill probsvly call the book store sponsoring the event to make sure about the signing first

[Patrick]

I'd like to see her, but would have to decide closer to the date whether I could make it. And then I'd have to be able to land tix. We'll see.

Tweet from Neil - 900 STARDUST prints signed, 900 to go. Charles Vess and I wrapping up an 18 year long project. http://www.whosay.com/l/OIe9ft0

[ELazansky]

He has signed so many things over the last 20 years that his signature itself it almost worthless.
