Thanks.
I really enjoyed reading Amanda Palmer's perspective on OCEAN.

"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
Just finished Death: The Time Of Your Life and Death: The High Cost Of Living. Now I'm starting The Sandman: Endless Nights. I have The Dreaming: Beyond The Shores Of Night and The Dreaming: Through The Gates Of Horn And Ivory on the way to me now. I love these characters, I don't ever want these stories to end!
If anyone missed out on the Goldsboro Books edition of The Ocean at the End of the Lane, The Poisoned Pen has copies for $66. http://poisonedpen.com/?STG=19598866...x=-1036&y=-168
Seeing how the issue price was roughly $50 plus shipping from the UK, it is a really good value. The listing doesn't show a picture, but their email newsletter clearly states that this is the edition from Goldsboro:
"Gaiman, Neil. The Ocean at the End of the Lane (Special UK Signed Numbered Edition with slipcase, $66.00). Thanks to our friends at Goldsboro Books in London for producing this great edition."
Im reading the super deluxe edition. Its just a beautiful book. i love it. The US edition is very nice as well.
OK, so now the collectibles are starting to get obscure....here is Horror: 100 Best Books from 1988. I love the old limited editions that had no signature pages. Everyone signed it like it was a high school yearbook. You can see Neil's signature right in the center above Lisa Tuttle:
That is a sweet book, Eric. Always wanted one of those. It's such a great read, too. Congrats!
My 17,48 euro book from bookdepository arrived.

It was only $60 - I cannot believe that Kim marked that one up so much - I can only guess since that's the only place the gaiman story is in print right now.
Neil has an event on 15 oct at Westminster in London - it was announced on 17 August and is already sold out. They're looking at adding seats - so if you are in London check it out

It's a full reading of fortunately the milk - with a special edition of the book just for the event, Chris Riddell will be drawing during the event, there's music too and guests. It's not a signing - but Neil mentions that there will be signed copies of the book already signed for purchase. Check out full details here:

Wish I could goto this one. Imagine some of these books might turn up on eBay shortly after the 15th. If any of our UK friends are able to go - I'd love to get one of them
Opinions on the Annotated Sandmans?
I never looked at them, although I do have a couple of books about the sandman - that make a good companion to the stories and would be a lot cheaper than getting the whole annotated series. Your money would be better spent upgrading to the absolutes - you can sell off the set I traded you - and pick up one of the other sandman companion books.
I have a few Sandman reference books, but as a collector, I was wondering if anyone had them and what their opinions on them were. They look pretty big:

Depends, do you want the magic trick explained?
Magic ... trick?
I will have one of these left - there are 7 copies and 6 are spoken for. If you would like one - the total cost is $30 - includes shipping & tracking in U.S. - no international - unless you want to pay the full shipping - it would be easier for you to contact Torben (lauterer) and let him help you get a copy.
Oh - they do look really cool - in case you cannot tell. The latches work on all of them - the books look great - there are no DJ on these books - just the HC UK books.
They look awesome. Wish I could read in german!
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I have the English UK version - Caleb and I can try to learn some german that way
Sadly I don't have an English language hard copy of the book. That's one of the few I borrowed on my Kindle.
