Editorial Review: Book Description: The third volume collecting Neil Gaiman's seminal, award-winning series starring the Dream King in deluxe format. ABSOLUTE SANDMAN VOL. 3 presents several key SANDMAN tales in a slipcased hardcover edition, including "Brief Lives," in which the Sandman's sister Delirium prevails upon her older brother to help her find their missing sibling, Destruction. But their journey through the Waking World has dramatic repercussions for their family and also for the relationship between the Sandman and his wayward son, Orpheus. Also included is the spectacular short story "Ramadan," a tale of a young king of ancient Baghdad and the deal he strikes with The Sandman to grant his city immortality, with spectacular illustrations by P. Craig Russell (Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, The Jungle Book). Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Book poorly packed by Amazoni know the review is for the book but i am just disappointed with the poor packaging by amazon on this book. i haven't read the book yet but i don't care because i am a Neil Gaiman fan, so i know i would like this book. however the packaging was done poorly. i've been an amazon customer for about 3 years now but this is the first time that i will complain about their packaging. my order was sent from one of their fulfillment centers: Amazon.com, LLC Read More Rating:  - Great volume of a fun seriesThis third installment of the Sandman series is great. Each volume seems to follow a theme or story, and this one was particularly poignant and intimate. It had a different feel than the other two volumes, and as usual was imaginative and beautifully illustrated. As someone who was not familiar with the series prior to reading them in the volume form, I am really impressed! Rating: - amazingLike the previous two volumes, this is an absolutely fabulous book. The artwork is fantastic and almost as good as Gaiman's incredible writing. I especially liked the issue called "Ramadhan" and the "Worlds End" stories. Rating: - Absolute absolute!Guess there is no need for another praise of the comic itself. And like the first 2 volumes they produced a great quality book. I'll build a shrine around "The Absolute Sandman" Also thanks to Amazon - you folks rock! There is no other online shop out there able to send it as quick and safe as Amazon does. The price is mostly right as well ;) Btw. I live in Switzerland. No European service was able to send the books as cheap as Amazon USA ( not even Amazon Germany...) Rating: - The book is wonderful, the amazon shipping not I love this series and the absolute format really does it justice. If you're a fan its a worthwhile purchase. However, I received damaged copies twice from amazon....After the second time they would only refund me. You buy these absolute books as a collectors item and having them show up all busted up etc is a bit underwhelming. Vol 1 and 2 I got were slightly damaged but I lived with it but both copies of this one were just stuffed. I live in Australia so perhaps the international shipping is at ... Read More
