absolute sandman II
Great medium for enjoying the masterpiece of Neil Gaiman's Sandman.Beautiful book of collector quality at a great price compared to buying individual issues

An Amazing Series
A beautiful series, both graphically and lyrically.I originally read this story from a friend's old set of 10 graphic novels, and it is worth the extra money to buy this new edition.

great story, quality of books is wanting
I give the story 5 out of 5 stars, however, the quality of the books themselves is wanting:All four volumes came to me inside their sleeves and shrink wrapped, yet there was slight scuffs to the covers!Also, volume four had one page folded over and miscut.For books that cost $99 each, there should have been more attention to detail/quality control.One last thing, although the story is one of if not the best comics stories out there, the art was sometimes not to my liking at all.

Neail Gaiman!!!
I can't say better words, I'll repeat all good things, feelings better speakers have mention... This collection is one of the best...

Chapeau Mr Gaiman...

Destinys Tome
This book is gorgeous and gives me a renewed sense of bibliophilia. The heft and feel and its overall appearance give it a classic old book feel. The binding is superb and looks excellent on the shelf. After reading e-books and than returning to physical books, this version reminds me of all the reasons I adore the printed page. The new coloring and larger format also enhance the reading experience. Re-visiting this story after a few years, I find it still rich and absorbing. Well worth the price for any Neil Gaiman fans. ... Read more
