    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.

    Vertigo announces new 'Sandman' editions
    Monday, December 21 2009
    By Hugh Armitage, Comics Reporter

    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.

    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.

    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.
