mtxx The Trendy Nihilist Member	Posted Hide Post It IS meant to be lose. I read a Dave McKean interview. He doesn't consider himself a writer in the same sense that Neil Gaimn is a writer, and that 'lose' kind of thing is the thing he felt he could do. - Michael My boring blog: http://www.xanga.com/mtxx "This is the spring without end / This is the summer of malcontent / This is the winter of your mind"

Posted Hide Post That's good. And he's right. He ISN'T a writer like Neil Gaiman. This was the second edition, yet there are still typos everywhere. Plus, well, it's easy to tell he isn't the best with storytelling. Aitapata, I didn't buy mine. Found it in another town's public library, had my girlfriend (who lives there) check it out for me. Aren't you a librarian? Couldn't you get the library to purchase it? Definitely a good volume to have around. My Bigger, Better, and Improved Blog

If you approach Cages more like a painting or a piece of jazz music then I think it's very impressive. - Michael My boring blog: http://www.xanga.com/mtxx "This is the spring without end / This is the summer of malcontent / This is the winter of your mind"

Aren't you a librarian? Couldn't you get the library to purchase it? Definitely a good volume to have around. Is it even still in print? *checks* I could inter-library loan it, but it's most likely the sort of thing I'll want to immediately put on my shelf when I'm done with it, so I'd much rather not go through the sorrow and heartbreak of having to return it to someone else. I'll wait until my $50 properly congregate. _____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town.
