Hey! He's not vintage!
I know that. But oh, how I love Neil Gaiman. I've never figured out the authorial whine of "Please buy my books new so I'll get the royalty!" I understand that authors have to make money too, but if you're not in it primarily for the readers, you're probably not a very good writer. Neil Gaiman is a very good writer. But you don't need to take my word for it: just buy a copy of Stardust. And hey--he doesn't mind if you buy it used.
