It has to end (Amy Adams needs the theatre). If you are in or near the UK, see it if you can. It’s special.
The Ocean at The end of The Lane, Neil Gaiman (2013)
It’s wonderful to see all these together.
This is a tour of epic proportions, people. Also the last time that Neil Gaiman will be doing a book signing tour. Get those tickets while you can! The book is excellent and I’m sure the tour will be out of this world.
(With any luck, Neil will survive the tour, but that is another matter entirely)

This may be modified slightly as we go — I’ll add any additional information (there’s nothing on ticket prices here, for example — most stores will count your ticket cost toward the cost of the book.)
The current plan is that I’ll sign any copies of The Ocean at the End of the Lane for you, and one or two other things, depending on lines and numbers. This may change.
I’ll also plan to sign as much as possible of what the bookstore has of mine when I get to each new shop, including many copies of OCEAN. So you can watch me read and do a Q&A and then take off if you do not want to wait.
Many shops will have leftover signed books after the signing, or will take preorders for a book to be signed and sent out. I’ll sign all the books that each store needs signed, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to personalise phone/internet orders.
And yes, this will be my last US book-signing tour. And I’m going to try and do as much as possible of it in a bus, mostly so I can get more sleep than I did on the Anansi Boystour.
Feel very free to spread the information around. (UK & Canada & the rest of the world signing information is not in this post.)
For the record, Elyse was the only reason I survived the 2008 Graveyard Book tour. And that was a reading tour, not a signing tour.
