Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why is Amazon saying that the illustrated Stardust won't be released until August. I'm positive I saw it in a bookstore a few weeks ago. (At least, I'm 90% sure I did.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
There's also a comics version of it: [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Stardust has always been illustrated -- the new edition is bigger and shinier, but the illustrations are absolutely an integral part of it, and always have been. Just so's we're clear.

See, I think I read the unillustrated, because it's what the library had. I skimmed the other, but I didn't read it again, as there were so many books at the library, and they were very pretty. So, that (and dial-up) is my excuse for having incomplete knowledge.
