As the title suggests i would like to purchase "Sandman' Chronicles but i can only find them in libarys ETC...are they still availble for purchase? I have a very close friend who would like these and decided to purchase them how ever it seems this is not as easy as i first thought, if you could help me great :) Chromagnum (talk) 11:43, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see Forbidden Planet in the UK is selling them at the bargain reduced price of fifty quid! per volume. This may not be any use to you, but there it is. 213.122.68.223 (talk) 12:04, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon has them in stock, both new and used. --Cookatoo.ergo.ZooM (talk) 12:10, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is that the hardback, though? I checked, but saw "Temporarily out of stock": [1] 213.122.60.155 (talk) 12:24, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's Category:Comics retailers, and the official DC site is pimping comicshoplocator.com. 81.131.16.5 (talk) 13:43, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are you looking for hardback editions of the 'Sandman' books in a reasonably-priced edition, or are you looking for the huge, beautiful, superexpensive 'Absolute Sandman' volumes? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:55, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

what is proper way to wear wedding ring set?

what is proper way to wear wedding ring set? does the engagement ring go on the inside or outside of the wedding band? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.64.81.249 (talk) 17:17, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I recall, the wedding band goes on the inside, being "closer to the heart" or some such. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:26, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Depends if the set is made to sit in one particular way, in which case you won't be able to wear it any other way. FWIW, the only way I've seen rings worn in the UK is with the engagement ring nearest the fingernail. --TammyMoet (talk) 19:11, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Wedding ring article discusses the various customs. There doesn't seem to be any one unalterable rule about it. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:51, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Often the lady wants to remove the engagement ring. It is usually set with stones and so washing, etc., is better without the ring. Also there is a need to clean it occasionally. The simple wedding band is (almost) never taken off.Froggie34 (talk) 11:52, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An exception certainly would be for working with machinery. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:30, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
