Rating: Summary: i'm allergic to dust but i still bought it. Review: On the outside a stranger to Neil Gaiman's work might think the Sandman covers represent nonsense,despite the seriousness of the tone.But they're just like the lyrics of a Nirvana song,they have deep and thoughtful subliminal messages in them. Dust Covers tells all about it by the authors.Yeah,the covers do look pretty without the logo and the other features in them(last sandman story! )were cool. Consider this much more than a companion.

Rating: Summary: If you like the Sandman covers, this book is a must have! Review: This book might be one of the better art books I've ever laid my hands on. It has it all! The first pages contains a, as usual, weird Sandman story, never released before. Dave and Neil also sets the standard for the rest of the books comments, ironic and sarcastic. Then from there on and out, the amazing covers, but that's not all, its also got comments on each cover by Dave and Neil, and the covers are printed without any logos or titles on them! Interior art is also included. The layout by Dave McKean is also beautiful, and at the end of the book, you can see some nice art from his studio in England. This book is a must for anyone who likes art in general, maybe especialy the mystic and dark genre. Dave McKean has reallly shown us that he is maybe one of this decades most talented and creative artists!
Rating: Summary: Just Perfect Review: This is not a comic book. An album of sandman comics covers. Amazing photography even typography by Dave Mc Kean.
Rating: Summary: better than the original covers Review: What's in it: All the covers of all the Sandman issues, covers form the hardcover and softcover collections, many non-Sandman photographs by Mckean and other Sandman images. To give this book the little extra, most covers are commented by McKean and Gaiman, and there is a little Sandman Story.My opinion: If you like the covers, then get this book. It is the only "Art"-book that I have and would recomend. P.S.: I am refering here to the Titan Books edition, which has been out for a while and will probably be the same as the US version.
Rating: Summary: Creepy, amazing, and with a behind the scenes peak. Review: When I had collected the original Sandman issues, I was always intrigued by the cover art as well as the story and illustrations inside. Sometimes, I would find myself staring at the covers for minutes before reading the actual story. This was the only time I had ever really done that. And now you can own this book full of those intricate, detailed, and amazing art pieces, along with commentary by McKean and Gaiman.
And there's a Sandman story that I have never read before! If you're a Sandman fan, buy this book.
