"Books may well be the only true magic." - Alice Hoffman
I noticed two things that should please Gaiman fans (and blow their book budgets). The first thing is that due to the release of the Stardust movie next summer, they're re-releasing the beautifully Charles Vess illustrated version of Stardust in hardback. It has a new cover and color scheme to distinguish it from the first edition and thankfully it's not a movie bookcover. The 1st edition, which comes up on eBay once every blue moon, typically goes for $120-150, so I suspect the availability of the new hardcover edition will lower those outrageous prices.
The second thing is that Subterranean Press is releasing a special limited edition of MirrorMask: the Illustrated Film Script which is signed by both Neil Gaiman and artist Dave McKean. The super-limited "Lettered edition" will include a sketch by McKean in each book, but you can see all the drawings for free here.
