review 1: Wonderfully enchanting. This has been my first graphic novel, and in truth I was intrigued because my sweetheart loves Gaiman, but also because this edition is annotated. The idea never occurred to me. These stories are inventive and complex. For relative newbies like me (I had thumbed through an old roommate's copy of the first story arc) to old fans, this should be a joy. The black and white illustrations make the stories more dream like than color versions I've seen, and Gaiman's original notes are fascinating insights into a playful and developed creative process.A great joy.
review 2: Love the Sandman, was thoroughly disappointed by this book. Page after page without any annotations, and the annotations that are in there are repetitive and uninteresting, w... morehile parts that I would be interested in aren't included. Why would you include a note for every part of the story that is followed by an ad page, but not comment on things like who the issue was dedicated to and why, and other bits that can't be found out by googling?Not to mention - I realize this was a big book, but there were a lot of mistakes, with commentary being printed twice, or in the wrong spot. It made it look unprofessional. less
