Perhaps, but how many editors are aware of it?

I wonder who's picured on the 1,000 dollar bill. Was it Grover Cleveland, or was his picture on the 500 dollar bill?

GHOD! Imagine having a one, five, or ten thousand dollar bill in your coin and currency collection!

Sure you would Jim. You would then immediately turn around and sell them to currency collectors . . . probably at considerably more than face value. Wink

Off topic I know, but I know Paige is a fellow Gaiman fan and if she wasn't already aware I wanted to inform her that he has a new collection of short stories that was just published: Fragile Things: Short Fiction and Wonder.

Thanks Scott Smile

Do you know if it came out all ready?

Yes it is. On another note, I also saw that there is a compilation CD, Where Is Neil When You Need Him?, performed by musicians who've written songs inspired by his works. I honestly hadn't even heard of most of them, but I think the concept is interesting and it does include a booklet illustrated my Dave McKean.

You are correct, Sir. It is Grover Cleveland. See link for picture.
