Vertigo, 1993 Gaiman's bittersweet best I can't believe I'd never read the original miniseries before. (Although I've certainly enjoyed the ongoing series). Despite the age, The Books of Magic doesn't feel dated at all and maintains the uniquely bittersweet, fairy tale tone that is characteristic of Gaiman at his best. This looks like it was a lot of fun for the artists as well, who were each very well-chosen. I certainly ...             Horse Packing: A Manual of Pack Transportation1 review Charles Johnson Post Skyhorse Publishing, 2007 Packed With Information!

If you are a fan of Defoe and want to read about pyrates and their cutlasses then this is the book you need.
