I just got confirmation from Zanadu comics. They might be one of the last people who have Volume III of the Sandman in stock. Now we'll see what condition it is in.

Now, off to pick up Ms Tao and head to Davis!


A night of physics and pad thai. All that's missing are hot dates in loin cloths, and all would be perfect. Of course, Ms. Tao and I don't have that. I think, at least in my case, it's bad karma for giving her a "Great Date Ken" (with unnaturally crispy hair and a boutineer!) for her birthday one year. It doomed us to being each other's great date ever since.

Sandman Vol 3

Which one is that, again? The title? I first wanted to say it was "A Season of Mists," but I think that's later.

Dream Country be the third volume. Season O' Mists is four.

Ah. Dream Country is short stories -- good to read, but can be skipped for a while if necessary. (The cats one is brilliant.)

You're not mistaking that with The Dream Hunters, right? Yoshitaka Amano was the artist for that book, and it really wasn't in the main series.

I've got both of them -- I'm pretty sure Dream Country is the one with the "Dream of 1,000 Cats" and the tale "The Strange Death of the Element Girl." Good stuff. I think the emperor stories were in there, too -- the one about Augustus Caesar, the one about Emperor Norton -- but I may be wrong there.
