I am the kind of person that no matter what it is I have to have the whole collection. It drives me nuts not to. To that end I have some awesome Tori pieces. But I just got involved in life and fell out with it, particularly around that whole Strange Little girl multi-cover art era. Stuff like that annoys me, and that largely marked when I just quit collecting. On a personal level I've kind of moved on in some esoteric way, which is fine. I don't feel the need to get rid of them, but I have noted on several occasions that they do indeed take up a lot of space. Whatever you do with your lovelies, I hope it goes smoothly! Be seeing you, Beth! =) Beth Winegarner wrote: > Violet just posted an article to Undented that lists some of the hottest > Tori collectibles, and what they sell for (in UK currency).

Fischer" Subject: [pt] Tori's girls in "new" Neil book Hello, I apologize if this has already been mentioned and I just missed it, but there is a new Neil Gaiman book out now called "Fragile Things" that includes the little stories Neil wrote for the Strange Little Girls album. The book is a collection of short stories, prose, etc that Neil has written over the years. I believe the Strange Little Girls stories appeared only in the tourbook for that album before now, so if you don't have that then here's your chance to read them. They're very short, but fun :) ~~alex ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V11 #76 *************************************
