New Hardback Print of Neil Gaiman's 'Stardust'

New cover

One of my favourite authors, Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, American Gods, Coraline, The Graveyard Book and more), is releasing a new hardcover print of his 1997 novel, 'Stardust' later this year.

As with most things, I saw the 2007 movie starring Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert DeNiro first, which I loved, and just had to hunt down the original book which I also now love. And I've been after a hardcover copy of this book for a while now.

This new hardcover print edition - 'The Gift Edition' - will also feature frontispiece illustrations and chapter headings by acclaimed fantasy artist Charles Vess, the original illustrator of the book.

Check out the painted frontispiece illustrations below.

There's a regular edition and there will also be a signed limited very fancy and quite expensive edition.
