The Collectible George R.R. Martin

[becca69]

Congratulations, Becca - that's one gorgeous book.
I bought one myself way back in 1996, assuming this would be the first part of a trilogy, ready to be read around the year 2000, on completion of the series.
(I never start reading a series before it's finished.)
And here we are, almost 20 years later, waiting for book VI.
And yes, mine are still unread.....

I would love to have your pristine copy - you're sitting on a gold mine

Of course I also purchased books II and III. These first three editions go so well together and are absolutely gorgeous editions.
And then came A Feast For Crows: such a disappointment (dj-wise). I just wish whoever's responsible would have kept the look of the first three.

Yes, I agree with you. I have all the UK 1sts now and just like with the US Stephen Youll covers, they should have continued with that style. I had my UK books signed by George and hopefully I'll see him again to sign AGOT.

What would be a reasonable price to pay for the Sub press ACOK w/ rights for GoT? What was the issue price?

Issue price was $295. I think between $700-$800 is about right for a fair value. I wouldn't pay $1000 that some people are asking even though I believe both book swill be worth that or more eventually.

I found one on Ebay for $725 w/ rights with the help of Becca69 I am good to go for now.

Is there a release date for the Sub Press AGoT S/L?

[becca69]

Not yet. It was held up due to the artwork. If you are subscribed to the newsletter, you should be good.

Your room looks good, Becca. I like the signed movie stills, by the way.

I agree with GRRM's perspective on the interviewer's question.

[becca69]

Thanks Patrick. I have a bunch on the other wall. I meet tons of celebs by going to Monster Mania 2x a year.

That's nice!

Had anyone else seen this? Is it true? "When asked how he felt about George R.R. Martin expanding his book series to eight volumes, not seven, HBO’s president of programming Michael Lombardo said, “Delighted beyond comprehension.” Winter could be coming for a good while longer."

[fearless-freak]

i think it will be a separate novel still based in the world of ice and fire as GRRM has said he'll never write anything on this scale again but he has said that there are still tales to be told in Westeros

Ok that could be. After reading that I was imagining a situation like the Eragon trilogy that became 4 books when there was not enough room to end it in 1 book.
