Being a huge Gaiman fangirl, this was a must-buy, obviously. Whew, this was a chonky boi, but as I had previously read most (if not all) of the stories in here it took less time than expected! A good mix of pieces of varying ages - definitely made me want to reread Neverwhere and The ocean at the end of the lane. Also, We can get them for you wholesale is still one of my all-time fave short stories.
