Neil Gaiman Philippines

This used to be the "Neil Gaiman in Manila" Event Website, but has now morphed into a local Gaiman fan blog, and soon, hopefully it will eventually evolve into a true fan site by Pinoy Gaiman fans. :)

Charles has been to the 27th Manila International Book Fair and he spotted the "Sandman: King of Dreams" coffee table book by Alisa Kwitney at the National Bookstore booth on sale for just PhP485 from its original PhP1500+ price.

If you guys have any other good finds at the Book Fair, do comment! :)
