My God! Congratulations! Is that a limited or lettered copy?YAAAASSS!
As previously mentioned...
I have some artwork from this that I haven't seen around and thought some here might like to see:
Eastasia has always taught college students to feel pride or shame according to their race.
It's lettered - FF
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
And the art looks great on the Folio edition.

Some more info from Folio Society:
The artist...has drawn eight exquisite chapter headers; one to represent each major character.
Our lavish collector’s edition will be printed two-colour throughout and these intricate black-and-gold chapter headers will be complemented by elaborate initial letters and page motifs.It’s time to reveal that the incredibly talented Jonathan Burton is the illustrator for our edition of A Game of Thrones. His spectacular artwork includes 16 full-colour illustrations.
‘Illustrating A Game of Thrones became much more involved than I ever imagined ... I threw myself into this world 100% and relished its rich and strange visual atmosphere bringing together medieval romanticism, dark drama and chilling horror. Delicious.’
-Jonathan BurtonFor the introduction, we’re proud to announce best-selling fantasy writer Joe Abercrombie. Author of the internationally acclaimed The First Law Trilogy, Joe has an encyclopaedic knowledge of George R. R. Martin’s fantasy world.
‘A Game of Thrones proved to me you could do something gritty, shocking and character-focused while still writing epic fantasy. I’m delighted to be providing an introduction to a book that was one of my biggest inspirations.’
-Joe AbercrombieBoth volumes of this highly anticipated release are cloaked in a beautiful cloth that mysteriously transforms from blue to red.
Each cover features a striking artist-designed illustration – one blocked in silver foil, the other in gold. Volume 1 depicts a fallen Stark direwolf pierced with an antler; while Volume 2 shows a mighty stag being taken down by a lion to symbolise the Baratheon and Lannister feud.

If anyone is looking for signed 1st/1st of the game of thrones series let me know. Im selling part of my collection. that includes proofs and other rare collectibles.

Wow! Definitely must be one of your grail pieces now! Congratulations!!!!!!It's lettered - FF
Update From folio society:
A Song of Ice and Fire – the series is coming…
We can now confirm that Folio will publish all titles in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga, in series with A Game of Thrones. So, pre-order A Game of Thrones to start your stunning collection now.
The first book will retail for GBP 125. A bit steep, but now that they've confirmed that they will do the whole series, I am definitely interested. The map that's included seals the deal for me.
I'm going for it. I have the original 'blue' harper collins slipcase set and hope they publish the last book in that format too, but they are quite plain. I abandoned (sold) my part complete subpress set as I realised I would never complete it without selling body parts to fund it(!) and so this looks a great opportunity for a good quality illustrated set.
Really well done, got me thinking....

Tempting but to be honest $200 is a bit more expensive than I would have liked. CD's upcoming 'The Stand' for example will likely be in the $125 range for the standard gift edition and that book is considerably bigger. (I imagine this is because they split the book in two but I think that was unnecessary.)

My Collection
My thing is they never say how many of these will be done, and in doing so somewhat cheapen the production for me.
Folio Society's "limited editions" (their higher-end offerings) usually state a run size, but their regular editions never do (the real FS collectors out there seem to find out, but it's never clearly stated, and FS always reserves the right to print another run of exactly the same edition, so you're not protected, if you're collecting with scarcity in mind.)

I put in my pre-order just now. At least I will get a first print run. They are beautifully done which what got me on board.

I like that the map is bound separately; that seems very nice.

I have been thinking about that lately too. I have most of the SP books but missing the last 2 FFC and DWD and never find any coming for sale. Been thinking of off loading the whole set and jet getting some funds.
Does anyone here worry that GRRM might never write another sequel? With the sinking price of GOT's SubPress S/L the consensus seems to be collectors might be thinking about that seriously.

I got in touch with their customer service who told me that the first print run is about 7000 copies. That coupled with no GRRM signature means these likely won't appreciate greatly in value. Although who knows, with the popularity of GoT plus Folio being a relatively more popular publisher, 25 years down the line you could have something on your hands....Folio Society's "limited editions" (their higher-end offerings) usually state a run size, but their regular editions never do (the real FS collectors out there seem to find out, but it's never clearly stated, and FS always reserves the right to print another run of exactly the same edition, so you're not protected, if you're collecting with scarcity in mind.)
Having said that, I personally think the editions look very well done and would look beautiful on a shelf.
