Books of Magic, yay! Are you talking about the graphic novels, or about the novelizations made of the graphic novels? Because I highly recommend the graphic novels, but in no way endorse the novelizations.
I have and have read all the BoM, and the various spin-offs (some of which required some serious comic shop haunting, let me tell you.) The entire series is excellent, although admittedly it gets a bit ... not-quite-coherent... at the end of Peter Snebjerg's (sp?) run. Then Peter Gross took over, and fixed it and drew it to a conclusion.
Then there was a mini-series (Hunter) and another series (short lived, Hunter the Age of Magic) and then *another* series, which may or may not still be going (Hunter: Life in Wartime.) The shoot-offs/spin-offs, since I've mentioned so much as I have so far, include two Books of Faerie mini-series, a cross-over with Hellblazer, several shorts in the original Vertigo: Winter's Edge compilations (at least the first two) and something called The Children's Crusade, which was a cross-over with a book that was never actually published called Arcadium.
And lots of characters from The Sandman show up.
Um. But if you're talking about the novelizations, then pretend I didn't write any of the above. :)
