I am really happy with this purchase! I thoroughly enjoyed the book and all the extra information about the Sandman series. I would seriously recommend it to anyone who loves this series or just wants to understand or know more about it.
Format:Paperback
This book provides essential insight, not only into Neil Gaiman's storyline and characters, but into his path to literary fame. I bought the book before I purchased all of the Sandman trade paperbacks, and it served as an appetizer to complete my collection. I constantly refer back to it, and discover something new each time.

Tells you little you couldn't get from the comics.

An excellent companion
'Companion' books are often no more than a way to milk a few more dollars out of completist fans and trainspotters, but Hy Bender's book is well worth the money. Read more
