the problem when buying something like that is,  i would never read it, because i would be afraid to touch it



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Is this a reprint of the original series which I bought about 15 to 18 years ago?

I'm really interested in reading those. I had a Philosophy professor who claimed that those books made her realize how powerful graphic novels could be.

Not that expensive for my standards to be honest (I usually buy massive and/or imported books that are usually like $40-$80 here). If you want it then just go for it.

While I'm not a fan of statements like the bolded one (as it implies that the person who said this normally doesn't read comic books and probably never heard about e.g. Will Eisner), I can tell you that Neil Gaiman's Sandman is one of the best "serious" comic book series ever created imo. Highly recommended.
