The Collectible George R.R. Martin

[ELazansky]

I am so glad I was able to get A Feast for Crows with rights going forward...still sucks I won't have A Storm of Swords once it is all said and done with the future new books and the re-releases by Sub Press of the first 2 books. *sigh*

I'm sure you will eventually find one. Just takes patience and a bit of luck! I'm totally fine with a non-matching copy. I've heard there are some out there that refuse to trade or sell to match a set even if they only have one book. So my advice is to pick one up when you can!

[ELazansky]

Don't know if everyone reads George's "Not A Blog," but this was an interesting post:

George has, in the past, been happy to sign books or memorabilia for fans who were willing to ship them to him. Unfortunately, in recent months, primarily due to the success of the HBO show, the volume of incoming items has gotten too high. This is primarily due to resellers who want to get George's signature on things they then sell on eBay or through other channels.

To put a stop to this so that it doesn't take up so much time, I'm implementing the following policy for signatures:

* Any package sent to this office that has not been pre-arranged with our office administrator at grrmbooks@gmail.com will be refused and returned unopened.

* Items unrelated to George's work will not be signed (yes, I'm talking to you guy who sent us a giant box of baseballs to be signed)

* All signature requests must include the name of the person for whom the item is being signed, and will be personalized at George's discretion. No sending us 20 books "just signatures please"

* If you are a book dealer looking for signatures for your store, contact the office administrator at the above email address and we'll see if we can help you.

If you're a legitimate fan that wants a book signed, please contact us and we'll help you arrange that. If you want George to sign a hundred book plates so you can sell them on eBay for grossly inflated prices, sorry, you're out of luck.

Just got this addition in today. Very excited. I love to see the series grow.

I have a question for you Chrise - Do both volumes in your lettered Dance have brown boards? Wondering because there are some PC versions showing up that have a brown volume one and a tan volume 2.

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now.
Yes, both boards are the same color.

Thanks! I saw an email from SP that their recycling center might have resold them and put together sets from discarded books and slipcases

I went as high as $20 and probably would have gone higher, but the listing was pulled at $34, I think. Hope you found a good home and are happy with the price!!! My Son, would have liked it as he is a HUGE "GOT" fan!!! Best to you "Scoogs"!!!!

Respectfully seeking a Signed/Numbered Limited Edition of the Sub Press A Storm of Swords

I own #218 + rights and would love to find that number. (I heard it was sold and went out of the USA, though)

I also own ADwD #346 and would love to locate a ASoS 346.

I'd be perfectly happy to purchase ANY numbered edition OR a Publishers Copy, however.

I just really want to complete a set!

Also interested in ANY GRRM Collectibles and specifically S/N LE Books that would match my number of #218 or #346

[Scoogs]

What price ranges should I expect to pay for unsigned copies of the US 1st/1sts of all 5 books?

Also, any tips on correctly identifying them or is it just he standard full numberline on the copyright page?

[Booknutt]

Make sure to look for the GoT that doesn't have that picture of Jon on the horse. The original 1st/1st had the silver cover with the throne in the background. Some dealers like to pass off the other version as a true first. It's really mislabeled IMHO on the publication page also. I expect you could find an unsigned for no more than $100 if you look hard. Maybe less.

[Booknutt]

Books 2 shouldn't run you more $75. I wouldn't pay more than cover on books 3-5.

I have never collected these, but the GoT silver cover seems like it would be a nightmare (Scratch easy?) to find in good condition.

AGoT with the illlustrated dust jacket isn't mislabeled... it's a second edition, not a second printing, so it has it's own number line.

[Booknutt]

Ahh! I've actually haven't seen one in a awhile, just too many dealers trying to pass it off as one.

[becca69]

It's actually very collectible too. I don't think they printed very many either.

I agree the art cover is very scarce too. A great collectable! A first edition GOT in fine of nf is going to run about $300 if you can get one for less its probly only in VG condition. unless your VERY lucky and stumble on one nobody caught on there radar
Clash is now running around $100 and no dought all of these will keep going up until the HBO series is done. If you can grab all 5 for less than $600 in nf condition your doing good.
