This is a 'coffee table' book, full of beautiful color excerpts from the series, as well as other graphics.

Alisa's synopses of the series is a more concise and 'to-the-point' version than Hy Bender's version, which is still the most definitive. This would be the one to show someone who has never seen or heard of the King of Dreams. --From A Reader's Journal, by d r melbie.

It's like getting re-acquainted with an old friend.
You laugh at the sappy moments, cry at the happy ones. Nostalgic, you shed a tear as you realize how you had to bid farewell.

This is a "special features" book, overviewing Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" chronicles; I haven't yet read the Sandman books, but if I hadn't already planned to, this book would have gotten me interested. There is some very lovely artwork included, interesting background on the development of and inspiration for the stories and characters, and what I really like, no fan-snobbery. It's an equal-opportunity welcome.

This is a pretty book, but it's very short on content. I thought it would have more behind-the-scenes information, but really it's mostly just a synopsis of the entire Sandman series. The artwork is very nice, though, and somewhat makes up for the lack of substance. I'm really glad, though, that I only paid a fraction of the cover price of $35.

I have read several books by Neil Gaiman, but none of his Sandman series, for which he is quite famous in certain circles. This book was remaindered, so I decided to use it as my starting point.

I do rather drool over the luxurious Ultimate Sandman books.

Nice summary of the Sandman series, but a bit shorter and less detailed than I would have liked.
