> HUGE Neil Gaiman fan here! I collected his graphic novels "Sandman"
forever! Wonderful books about the Endless Family...Dream, Desire,
Death (DiDi, my fave), Delerium,Destruction, etc, as a family with
family dynamics. [Chopped the rest of the interesting post]

akh responds:

These were the ones Bob (SO) knew about.  I wouldn't be surprised if
he owns them, since he's an obsessive comic book collector, and he
includes graphic novels in that maniacal collecting.  Of course, he
has them stored in acid-free boxes, carefully placed in
archive-approved plastic wrappers with rigid backers...

> Oh I LOVE Neil Gaiman!!! I'm dying to go see Stardust. I have an
autographed hardcopy of the book. [snipped rest of post]

akh, who has some gift credit on Amazon.com wonders:

I was looking at the electronic copy of the book on Amazon.com, and
the artwork looks lovely.  I'm thinking about getting it, not least
because of its art.  There's also a paperback edition there, but I
can't tell if it includes the same artwork.  I should probably stick
with the hard back edition.

Did you meet Neil at a convention?  I was looking on his website, and
I noticed that he now lives in Minnesota.  I was ruminating on how a
Brit ends up in Minnesota, not that I have anything against it.  I'm
from the Midwest myself.

akh, who can see how a Scot might not have problems with Minnesota
winters, but thinks it could be a bit of a shock for a Londoner
