Pretty new Sandman edition from Neil Gaiman. Of course I love Neil Gaiman and what Sandman fan would let this chance to buy this beautiful edition pass them by? Have you seen those gorgeous boxed editions? Well, at least this one will be more in you price range if you've had a mini stroke looking at the price of the others. Plus you'll have new buyer surprise...which cover above is the real cover? Every site has something different pictured so who knows what it will be? Personally I hope the one on the far right is the cover, the fox getting to be the focal point is all right with me. Plus who doesn't love people floating through the sky with weird green clouds like something out of a Chagall painting! Also a warning to those newer Gaiman fans out there, The Graveyard Book this ain't... not really appropriate for the younger readers...
I love the diversity of Gaiman the fact that he does go from the very adult to something for kids. My resident teenager is a big fan too, I bought her Blueberry Girl for her 16th and as much as she appreciated the sentiments, I think she might have preferred it if I had bought Who killed Amanda Palmer, something very, very adult.
The new editions of Sandman look gorgeous.
