My heart's desire

I am holding in my grubby, clammy, greedy little hands one copy of Neil Gaiman's "Stardust", lavishly illustrated by Charles Vess. It's in a soft cover comic book shape, but as an illustrated novel, not in comic strip format.

Did I mention it's signed by The Master himself?

And next year, the movie is due... woo hoooooooooo!

Speaking of Neil Gaiman on screen I’d like to recommend Neverwhere if you haven't seen it already. It was a BBC miniseries written by Gaiman from 1996. The technical quality of the series may leave something to be desired, but it's very Gaimanesque in spirit, which should be more important to Gaiman-aficionados.

I've read the book, and I know of the TV series. I've looked for it at Amazon, but the only DVDs on offer were American Region 1 discs... if anyone knows of where I can get a Region 2 version, I'd be very happy to hear from you...

According to this Neil Gaiman board it's region free and AMAZON.COM just wrote the American region because that's what they use. Other Amazons just use the same technical info.
Some sites like Yahoo movies and cduniverse.com list region as 'unknown'. I saw it on VHS around the time it was first released so I won't pretend to know myself.
