When is he coming to LA?
Now that's a happy little bookstore. I love that they describe themselves as maniacally thrilled.
Feev - I'll keep my eye open for any new Neil announcements. We're not exactly in convention season, so probably there will be more in the spring/summer.
Brice - I loved that, too !!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing the info, Pam. You may also want to mention it in Calvin's Corner in the "Other Authors..." thread.
I would love to see Gaiman again. Hope he comes back to the Bay Area soon.
Will do, Patrick.

Vertigo has announced new, re-coloured editions of its legendary series Sandman.
Next year, Vertigo will begin publishing the first books of Neil Gaiman's ten-volume series, remastered and corrected with new covers provided by Sandman cover artist Dave McKean.
The series was initially re-coloured for the four oversized Absolute Sandman editions.

Did anyone know about the S/L Neverwhere that Morrow is publishing this month? ISBN # 9780061964947.
I had no clue we were publishing it, but then I ran into his editor and she told me she had spent the day numbering the limitations page.

I bet the costume party will be amazing.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

Awesome!!!
I had my infatuations, but we both know in our hearts who is the sole love of my short, bright life.
This is to those collecting. I was in the Half Price book store today and in the "Collectors" section was a copy of this, signed by the author for $80.
Does whatever a spiderman does.

For you Gaiman fans, Barnes and Noble has added American Gods/Anansi Boys to their leatherbound classics library.
And it is a nice addition indeed...
Ok, just finished reading American Gods finally, after reading it on and off for the past few months. Thoughts? A lot of wonderful ideas, and some truly epic storytelling, although I did find it harder connecting to some of the main characters than in the last book of his I read, Anansi Boys (which I found to be an easier read, though that might be to do with the fact that I liked it's mixture of adult fairy tale with distinctly British comedy more). I think that was the only problem I had with it, though. Definitely keen to check out some of Gaiman's other stuff now.
