Is it just me or is this grossly over priced and I'm not even sure about that signature.

So has anyone else picked up the new leather-bound slipcased editions? I got the first three volumes with the other two on order, very cool editions (not my pic):

I agree. Sometimes I'm not even sure how people arrive at their prices. These previews are selling around 200-300.

It's overpriced but I think the signature is good - older containing more letters of his name.

Definately collecting the new slipcased leather version, much nicer than the blue ones from a few years ago.

Are they going to continue the illustrated editions or are the Limiteds the only full illustrated ones out there right now?

I've been thinking about these as well. Can you elaborate a little on why the red ones are better than the blue ones? Thanks!

For what it's worth, I like the new red editions, but definitely prefer the older blue ones.
Can't really explain why - matter of taste, I guess.

I would say the production value and materials are so much better, plus there are illustrated, color end pages (AGOT: Ned, Jon & Ghost; Dani birthing her dragons), full gold gilt page edges, and ribbon marker.

Exactly. These have a firm feel to them.

I'm hoping the publisher is more likely to continue producing this version as the unreleased books become available. I'm betting a fair amount of storage space on that hope as I've been buying extras to sell later.

New addition. (Custom slipcase added later)

Your custom slipcase designs for the Song of Ice and Fire books are awesome Yegor, can anybody ask Jeff to make a set or have you arranged with him for the design/stamps to be exclusive?

I'm definitely hopeful they'll complete the series once the rest of the books are published. These are great. Maybe even the novella collection(s).

Thank you! It's my own product of love...It took me 5-6 month working with various art folks and then communicating with Jeff to build these. There are a total of 7 cases were made to represent different Houses of ASOIAF.

For all you GOT beer collectors. Ommegang has released "Bend the Knee" Belgian Golden with honey. It is really good and they have 3 different label designs that I have seen.

[becca69]

I'll have to grab them. I've been collecting them since they started. I don't even like beer!

That's awesome. I love those slipcases. So Jeff has the plates for each of these? I wonder if he can create these to fit the UK editions as well.

I get the double bonus as I love the beer and collect the bottles.

Thanks for your input, all. I'll probably be looking for a set. Can anyone tell me if there are printing delineations in these editions? Would hate to buy online and get a second (or later) printing..
