i've read a loaned copy before, ages ago. still a very much engaging read. ...but i just realized theres no editorial of any sort in the book? no preface, no nothing? yes, i know theres a new version coming up, but still...i mean, vendetta had it.
Even the Absolute edition doesn't have a preface (besides a very brief "Special Thanks to Nie Gaiman, etc.) Lotsa extra stuff at the end though.
