The book is wonderful, the amazon shipping not  [Posted on 2008-08-02]
I love this series and the absolute format really does it justice. If you're a fan its a worthwhile purchase. However, I received damaged copies twice from amazon....After the second time they would only refund me. You buy these absolute books as a collectors item and having them show up all busted up etc is a bit underwhelming. Vol 1 and 2 I got were slightly damaged but I lived with it but both copies of this one were just stuffed. I live in Australia so perhaps the international shipping is at fault but while the first copy was obviously damaged in transit the second had damaged beyond that. Shipping within the US might be less prone to damage but it pretty much comes down to the fact they chucked it in a much bigger box with no packing material for it to bounce around. In short buy this book but think twice about getting it here. I must say that they did send me the second copy very quickly and customer service responded pretty well. If it does turn up damaged you wont be out of pocket I guess - just without your book.

Absolute absolute! [Posted on 2008-08-07]
Guess there is no need for another praise of the comic itself. And like the first 2 volumes they produced a great quality book. I'll build a shrine around "The Absolute Sandman"

Also thanks to Amazon - you folks rock! There is no other online shop out there able to send it as quick and safe as Amazon does. The price is mostly right as well ;)

Btw. I live in Switzerland. No European service was able to send the books as cheap as Amazon USA ( not even Amazon Germany...)

amazing [Posted on 2008-08-09]
Like the previous two volumes, this is an absolutely fabulous book. The artwork is fantastic and almost as good as Gaiman's incredible writing. I especially liked the issue called "Ramadhan" and the "Worlds End" stories.

Great volume of a fun series [Posted on 2008-08-25]
This third installment of the Sandman series is great. Each volume seems to follow a theme or story, and this one was particularly poignant and intimate. It had a different feel than the other two volumes, and as usual was imaginative and beautifully illustrated. As someone who was not familiar with the series prior to reading them in the volume form, I am really impressed!

Book poorly packed by Amazon [Posted on 2008-08-27]
i know the review is for the book but i am just disappointed with the poor packaging by amazon on this book. i haven't read the book yet but i don't care because i am a Neil Gaiman fan, so i know i would like this book. however the packaging was done poorly.

i've been an amazon customer for about 3 years now but this is the first time that i will complain about their packaging.

my order was sent from one of their fulfillment centers:

Amazon.com, LLC
1050 South Columbia
Campbellsville, KY

the book is heavy but they did not provide any cushion, and i received the package slightly opened because the package was not properly sealed.

amazon ended up giving me a %15 discount for this issue.
