Well, yes, that’s what he said. :p
In an interview with Guardian Unlimited:
Neil Gaiman, the internationally successful author of fantasy stories for children and adults, talks about blogging, bestsellerdom and his refusal to swim into a predictable career.
Dream FM will be sponsoring an advance screening of “Stardust” on October 9 at Greenbelt. For more details, tune in to Dream FM.
Check out the “Coraline” poster that was released during the San Diego Comic Con:
Hardbound copies of “Anansi Boys” are currently available at National Bookstore Glorietta for PhP600 each. It’s a different edition from the first ones that were originally available locally. Thanks to Danes for the heads-up!
I apologize for the error in the post.
The “Stardust” Book Discussion on September 28 will be held at Powerbooks in SM Megamall, and not in Greenbelt 4. The event starts at 6pm.

From Fully Booked:
COMING SOON!
The long-awaited book compilation of the winning entries from the 1st Philippine Graphic Fiction Awards will be launched by end-November at Fully Booked Bonifacio High Street, together with the awarding ceremony of the 2nd Philippine Graphic Fiction competition with Neil Gaiman as co-presentor!
Entitled, “EXPEDITIONS” the book will compose two parts: Prose Fiction and Comics.
EXPEDITIONS Fiction features the winning stories, “The God Equation,” “A Strange Map of Time,” “The Great Philippine Space Mission,” “The Omega Project,” and “Atha” as well as selected short listed works. EXPEDITIONS Comics will showcase the winning “Hika Girl,” ” SPLAT!,” “Defiant: The Battle of Mactan,” and “Dusk” along with selected short-listed entries.
As promised, the Foreword is written by Neil Gaiman, with the cover art by Leinil Francis Yu.
Details on the book launch will be announced soon.
There will be a “Stardust” book discussion at Powerbooks Live (Greenbelt 4) on Friday, 28 Sept. 2007, 6pm. It’s open to everyone, so see you there! 
For those who want to have a copy of “Sandman: Book of Dreams” for just a little under 500 pesos, better run to National Bookstore or Powerbooks before the Sale period ends! The book was going for around 495 pesos at the Manila International Book Fair which ended yesterday, but I do believe the stores are still having a sale. The book used to sell for more than a thousand pesos, so it’s definitely worth your while to pass by the stores and buy now!
