Neil Gaiman’s Last American Book Crawl Posted at 2:46 AM by Rico Simpkins

Neil GaimanNeil Gaiman is about to launch what is billed as his last US signing tour:

I think the OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE tour will be the last actual signing tour I ever do. They’re exhausting, on a level that’s hard to believe. I love meeting people, but the sixth hour of signing, for people who have been standing in a line for seven hours, is no fun for anybody. (The last proper US signing I did, it lasted over 7 hours and I signed for over 1000 people. I’d suspect a lot of the signings on this tour will be like that, or bigger.)
Boy, Mr. Gaiman, you sure do make your signings sound appealing!

I for one, hope this isn’t the last.  Just in case, however, we at WWEnd will be in line when you arrive in Dallas.  For the rest of you, here is our last chance to meet Neil Gaiman in the flesh in your town:

Whoa. At those prices, maybe not.

I went to a Neil Gaiman signing at a comic book shop in a mall in 1992 (give or take a year) to get some Sandman comics signed. There was no line, so some of us were able to linger a while and chat with him about what he was doing with the series. I guess something has changed since then…!
