Patrick's Collection

[Patrick]

Not by Gaiman, but about the production based on his book, NEVERWHERE :
WHAT I THOUGHT I SAW, by Kelli Bickman - signed by the author

"In this gallery quality book, Bickman blurs the distinction between fantasy and life as she eavesdrops on the set of award winning author Neil Gaiman's latest project, NEVERWHERE. With a cast of outrageous characters filched from the fray of New York and London spicing the mix, Bickman defies you to determine where Gaiman's world ends and hers begins..." Aside from the subject matter, the introduction is also by Neil Gaiman.

The cover looks scratched up, but that's just the Brodart protective cover, the book is just fine. It is signed by Kelli Bickman.

Neil Gaiman was the Guest of Honor at Chicago Comicon 1993.
10,000 unsigned programs were given away.
2500 signed and numbered programs were sold as a fundraiser to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.

This is #2416 out of 2500.



The Guest of Honor program is basically a collection of comic artists "roasting" Neil Gaiman, thus the many people listed in the Table of Contents.





One cartoonist's contribution:



I've got another copy somewhere, I'll add the number to this post when I come across it.

This is not signed nor limited, but it was not available in the U.S. when it was first published. ODD AND THE FROST GIANTS was a small book originally given away to schoolchildren in the U.K. Knowing how much I enjoy Gaiman, a friend in England sent it to me.

A couple years ago I was browsing through a local used bookstore, looking at the stuff in the glass cases and came across a signed 1st Edition/1st Printing hardcover of Neil Gaiman's NEVERWHERE. I had no idea the worth, but I love the story and it's in great condition. They only wanted $35. Sold!



Cool endpapers.



1st Edition/1st Printing.



Cool inscription (not to me, of course), and signature.
