I saw this in the shops a few days ago, and it wasn't even in hardback (?), but a big pocet version. Not too expensive either, but I have 3 books I really want to finish first, and i know that if bring this one home, I'm goone drop the one I'm reading in a flash, so I left it on the table.
Looking forward to reading it though. And, yes.. pick up Neverwhere. great book!
