This gift took some time to arrive, but damn, was it worth it!

Neil Gaiman's "Stardust". 1998 edition. Signed by Neil himself, with a self-portrait doodle. It must be Christmas already.

Quoting oninomaggie, my awesome gifter, "It's something I've had and treasured for 15 years now, and it's time for it to move on to someone who'll appreciate it". I promise you, I will keep it as the golden piece of my collection for years and ages. Thank you, kind stranger. Some day several years ago this beautiful fairytale brought hope and warmth into my life exactly when I needed it. And today, when I opened the cover of your gift, all these forgotten feelings returned to me at once.

I wish all the recent problems in your life to be resolved instantly, and let it be filled with warmth and happiness forever and ever, as will now be mine. Thank you. You're the coolest.
