That was probably me, John, as I am one of the biggest Gaiman fans you're likely to find. Have you read any of his miscellany, like Angels and Visitations or Smoke and Mirrors? I think the short story format is his best work, personally.

In any case, if it *was* me, you're welcome. It's really an excellent book, and consider it "re-recdommended" by me for anyone on the list who's looking for something to read.
