Much to my surprise my expected, and already delayed delivery of the illustrated edition of Neil Gaiman’s “The Ocean at the End of the Lane” somehow managed to pass through the postal-strike and arrived yesterday! Mystified about size and weight of the package I realized after opening that I have received not one but two books!

I can’t really fathom how I managed to pre-order the book twice (I actually did, had to check), yet here we are.

What is funny about this is, that one appears to be the US edition and the other the UK edition of the book, which are slightly different in size and built.
