For those people who care about math and money:

Current Amazon price for this book: $16.26
Price of one ticket after handling, convenience and shipping fees: $48.36
Adjusted price to see Neil Gaiman: $32.10

Also to be noted, the release date for the book is June 18th, and this show is on June 29th. So you get the book about two weeks after it's released. Also, I haven't seen anything saying that Gaiman will be signing books.

Are you one of the suckers that doesn't use the free options for ticket delivery? My ticket was $43.36 after fees.

And Powell's confirmed yesterday on facebook that he would be signing books.

It is not just you.

I might pay that much to see Henry Miller if he were raised from the dead, but otherwise no dice.

I hate these shows. Going with a partner = two copies of the same book in your house. No thanks.

Am I the only one that has a Beavis-type chuckle when I read that name?
