American Gods / Anansi Boys

About

A collectible leatherbound Gaiman volume — the spine reads both American Gods and Anansi Boys, so it looks like a combined edition.

Summary (from Wikipedia)

American Gods (2001) is a fantasy novel that blends Americana, fantasy, and strands of ancient and modern mythology, all centering on the mysterious and taciturn Shadow.

Anansi Boys (2005) follows "Mr. Nancy" — an incarnation of the West African trickster god Anansi — whose death leaves twin sons who discover one another's existence after being separated as children. Though not a direct sequel, the character of Mr. Nancy appears in both books.

Publication

American Gods first published 2001 (William Morrow, US / Headline, UK); Anansi Boys first published 2005 (William Morrow / Headline). This leatherbound volume collects both. Exact edition/publisher of the collected binding: [confirm].
