Amazon tends to bundle two books together and offer them at a slight savings. Bastards.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Yeah, but I'm into supporting my local comic book store, considering the store just opened and they guy is really cool.

The second collection, A Doll's House, has the stories that really knocked my socks off and made me a Sandman fan. Season of Mists is also very good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
If you come across a deal on the whole thing in a box set or something (or even the existence of such a set, doesn't have to be much of a deal), I would love to know about it! I read someone else's Sandman so i don't own any, but I must have them. Memory, for one thing, is fading.

And we will call it... "This Land."
Dream Country contains my personal favorite Sandman - "Dream of a Thousand Cats". Plus the one he won a Nebula (?memfault) for, the Shakespeare one.

Plus the one he won a Nebula (?memfault) for, the Shakespeare one.
He won the 1991 World Fantasy Award for Best Short Story with this issue, #19, "A Midsummer Night's Dream". It was the only time a monthly comic has ever won the award; they changed the rules shortly afterwards to make sure it couldn't happen again.
In Buffy comic news, issue #55 was in the stores today, containing a one-shot story about Dawn and Hoopy the Bear, still set in the time just before the series started. I picked it up, but haven't read it yet.
Also, Fray #8 was solicited for June 18, so it looks like we'll finally get the ending soon. (Fray #7 should be out on April 23).

Hoopy the Bear?! Yeah, that sounds promising...

It's a remora, dimwit.
Eh. I'd rather see her with Homey the Clown. He could whack her with his sack full of doorknobs, and then there'd be an excuse for her behavior during the series.

As long as the comic writers are committed to doing these outlandish plots, why not have a special holiday issue of "Dawn meets Santa Claus"? The Jossverse one.

Just spotted this on eBay. $33.50 plus $10 shipping. Is this a good deal?
