I picked up JS&MN at Borders a few weeks ago, but haven't gotten to it yet. I've noticed that the online book cover images all have white text on black, but mine's black on white -- it was also shrink-wrapped for no reason that I could see. Did I accidentally pick up the equivalent of a comic book with a foil cover? Toasted cheese!

It's a very good book, and while not great writing, has a vision of Faerie that is charged with menace and promise in a way seldom seen in fantastic literature. Right after I finished it, I was too willing to class it with LUD-IN-THE-MIST or LITTLE, BIG. While it isn't of the stature of those amazing works, it is, as Peter says, fast and good and gets magic _right_. Ignore the overreaching Neil Gaiman blurb on the book.
