The Graveyard Book (Subterranean Press) edition

I was very excited yesterday as the postman delivered my long awaited limited edition copy of Neil Gaiman’s Graveyard Book, with artwork by Dave McKean.  Ive been a fan of Neil Gaiman’s books for ages and, unknowingly till recently, a fan of Dave McKean too, as I found a number of comics he’d illustrated that I’d already read once I picked up that he was the artist.

The new Subterranean Press edition is gorgeous so I couldn’t resist posting a few pictures:

An intriguing black cover

Oh, ok, it was the wrong way up..

Rejected Wrap-around cover

Spooky artwork

People who bought the book had the chance for their names to appear in the back to join the ghostly protectors of Bod in the graveyard..

Hey! That's me!
