I'm pretty sure that's about how big the original Sunday pages were. If they took the time to clean these up (which I assume they did) this will be sweet. There was an exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum (traveled the country, I think) that had a ton of McCay's original pencils and layouts for these and the "Rarebit Fiend" comic - completely amazing.

Oh I saw this in a London comic shop. I wanted to get this but could not carry it since the terrorist thing going on at Heathrow. I am going to try to order it here.

When you can't bring a huge Little Nemo tome on a plane....the terrorists have truly won.

Okay, had to update here: I was downtown today and actually saw this book in the window of a bookshop! Ran in, took it down, and took a seat to have a good look.... :shock: :shock: :shock:

Fugging BEAUTIFUL.
So amazing- you can see and feel the love that went into this project, and of course McKay's work is pretty much without parallel.

Do you like art?
Do you like books?
Yes and yes?
THIS IS A MUST-HAVE.
Skip the next two SB releases and treat yourself to this.

Cheers,
Mike
