The Collectible George R.R. Martin

[Rugger]

I would have to agree with becca and ELazansky on this. I have never seen a PC copy of any book that included future rights. The problem being that there is no guarentee that there will be the same amount of copies left over for game as there was for clash. It's my understanding that extra copies are produced in case there are any problems with a lettered or numbered edition. Once all of the lettered and numbered are sent out they may be left with a handful of copies which then become PC copies. It is also common practice for sub press to just reopen the original product page to sell the PC copies. I could see how this may be confusing but I think Bill is under the impression that most people just realize a PC copy doesn't include future rights. Maybe I am way out in left field here, but that is how I see things. In the end Bill has the final say so contacting him would be your best bet. He is a very reasonable fellow and I'm sure you could work something out with him. Whatever happens I am interested in hearing the outcome. Best of luck to ya priest.

It's too late now, but last week George RR Martin did offer the possibility to buy the fact of being a character in his next book, and be killed with a grisly death.
The cost was $ 20K and "As The Hollywood Reporter notes, the two contest spots were nabbed within hours, with eight others added to a waiting list in hopes of an epic slaying."

That's insane. I didn't think they would sell that quickly (or at all) for that price. Dang! Looks like all the big ticket items are gone. He also raised the goal since it was reached so quickly. Those wolves will be livin' large!

[herbertwest]

Do George Martin make "regularly" some signing?
Because... well, he'll be visiting France (about 2h away from Paris). The shite part being... it's a THURSDAY, signature from 2pm to 6pm.
That's quite a big timeslot, but it's not really a big city. On a thursday.

Even though I havent read any of his books, it's shite that it's on a thursday when I gave my notice and cant really take anymore day off, i guess...
There is even a contest to win a VIP meeting with the author.

It's a middle size city, and even if there will be Game of Thrones events the night before and stuff, I wouldnt really by surprised if the 4h timeslot is kind of wasted as... "empty". For instance, when Orson Scott Card (which is quite famous too!), was in Paris in september (?), I went to the bookstore and I literally had to wait... 2 minutes before getting a book signed!

Actually... I'm gonna ask my contact at the publisher if maybe they could get me a signed book.

[becca69]

George goes to a lot of Conventions. I've seen him twice since last October. I'm not sure how often he goes to France but he does go to Europe quite a bit. I bet part of that signing time will actually be a reading or Q&A or both. He read a bit of the new History of Westeros book coming out when I was at CarolinaCon a few weeks ago and that took up about 1 hour.

If you can somehow get out of work, I would go :ninja:

PS - And start reading :wtf:

[herbertwest]

I already have a big pile of books to read and an even longer pile of books to buy and read. Being not interested by reading GoT i will pass. But will try to get 1 or 2 signed books. :)

I have a conundrum. I'm thinking of selling my set of SoIF 1st editions. All of them are signed. All are in great to slightly less great shape. The first two books are signed to me. The other three are flat signed.
Not sure if I really want to sell them. But I figure interest is at an all time high. And money's tight with me being out of work for four years. And my wife losing her job soon.

What would y'all do?

I would keep the personalized copies (plus those are the hardest to get) and sell the other 3 that are flatsigned.

[F1racefan]

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

[becca69]

I think issue price was $275?? I can't really remember. The lowest I've seen it so far is $700. That's a fair price. All the others are way over valued IMO.

[becca69]

Proud to finally call this edition my own. Was able to get it on a counter offer for less than the last one I tried to bid on. Still pricier than I would have liked but only 1500 copies of this were printed.

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.....

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.

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.

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

[F1racefan]

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.

[fearless-freak]

ASOIAF was originally supposed to be a trilogy from what i have heard

[Scoogs]

He has also mentioned publishing his "GRRMarillion" for the series once it is complete.
That will encompass a lot of the other tales and histories that he has written up.

I won't be surprised if the series requires an eight book. He has an awful lot of plot lines going.

I'll be in London August 18 - and George will do a signing at the Forbidden Planet Megastore.
Of course I have to be there, but George will only sign copies of The Hedge Knight and The Sworn Sword, plus one other item.
And here's my question: which item would you chose? I don't really have an extensive Martin library, so my choice is limited. My first choice would be my 1st/1st A Game of Thrones (Voyager), and as I'm taking a friend, also the Voyager A Clash of Kings,(1st/1st as well) as they're my favorite Martin editions.

What would be your choice?

Hi All,

Any interest in acquiring a lettered ASoIaF set? Mine's letter 'F', I've made a couple of half-hearted attempts to sell the set before, but I didn't follow up.

My set is complete, including the new Subterranean ACoK, as well as the original MM AGoT, ACoK, Sub ASoS, AFfC, ADwD, every bookmark, chapbook, etc. that came with the books. Of course it comes with the rights to all things 'F' in the future in this series.

I'll also post over in westeros.org as soon as I remember my password over there =).

I don't know what the current benchmark is - I remember a couple of lettered sets were sold 2 yrs ago at $15k each, so that would probably be a baseline - the sets have acquired ADwD and Sub's ACoK since those sales.

Just got my second batch from the "George Hoard" - all signed by Himself ;)

AFFC proof DJ, Spanish 1st HC ADWD (beautifully illustrated, pictorial boards & translucent DJ), Sandkings 1st, Legends 1st, Ommegang coaster
3 coins from Shire Post Mint - Golden Dragon was a gift.

[Rooster]

That Spanish edition looks really nice.

Speaking of the lettered deal last week, there were at least two, since chrise got one, and I got one. The "Add to Cart" button disappeared behind me, so I guess I just managed to squeeze in.

[richardsrarebooks]

Very cool. Going for the lettered Game of Thrones?

[Rooster]

Yeah, I expect I will, now that I got my foot in the door (even if it is just for AGoT). Two is company, after all.

George RR Martin will be attending the same literary program than Stephen King did about a year ago.
I was able to go to the live broadcast... maybe I will ask if I can attend again :)

[cit74]

Ok - quick question with this statement :

Purchasing A Clash of Kings will NOT give you the right of first refusal for our edition of The Winds of Winter.

Is that because it's based upon owning a copy of dance with dragons?

Yup. It was made clear when CLASH OF KINGS was issued that it didn't give you rights to any matches other than AGoT; you need ADWD to order TWoW.

If you're in his system as the owner of that number, I would think you'd get a note. If you bought on the secondary market, be sure that the seller communicated the transfer of rights to Sub.

I'm guessing that the email will go out tomorrow morning. I haven't gotten any notice yet either. We have until Jan to order it but I don't see anything about a free gift if ordering early?? Maybe there will be something in the email?

[cit74]

I'll wait for email. Speaking of email - that seems to work for the Cocteau bookstore:

Hello Chad,

Thank you for contacting the Jean Cocteau Cinema Bookstore. I have completed your pre-order request. You will be guaranteed 1 signed copy of Dangerous Women.

I am on travel and will return to the bookstore on Monday (11/17) to proceed with your order request regarding payment and shipment details.

Be well,

I got the same email for 2 titles I requested!!

[Scoogs]

I just heard back from the Cocteau bookstore as well!
Thought for sure they were going to be gone by the time I emailed the, so I'm really happy to have heard back. Thanks for the heads up Ari.

Glad to hear we'll see the AGOT S/L in Spring. Paying for two copies right before Christmas shopping starts is no fun though! :)

[becca69]

Finally received the Spanish Deluxe editions that match the ADWD I got a few months ago. They are beautiful. Probably my favorite edition... if I could read it ;)
I'm waiting on some replacement dust jackets as they got some damage in shipping from Spain. They are very delicate.

$125.00
Thinking that's pretty darn good...

[becca69]

That's great! They weren't much cheaper new.

I think now is the time to buy ASOIAF stuff.

[becca69]

BTW - I got a notification on ABE that a signed 1st AGOT was up for $125. I decided to ask the seller if they could send me pics because they showed a later edition. Turns out it was a first and sold right away and the seller let me know he probably listed it too cheap - LOL. Serves me right for not jumping on it and taking a chance.

wow - what a deal - for someone else...

[Lurker]

I would have jumped on that too. I just happened to be looking for something else at Amazon.uk and always check just in case. The only other one there was 1200 pounds.

I watched his interview - don't think I've ever seen him talk before, very soft spoken. But no clues or dates for the upcoming books. Really don't see many authors sitting down for thirty minutes discussing themselves anymore.

[Scoogs]

Picked this up yesterday. It is one of the limited edition Record Store Day - Black Friday releases. Not sure of the quantity produced since it was one of the few on the list that wasn't stated.
Looks like they are easily found on ebay in the $30-40 range. I paid $21 retail, so that's not bad. Search for Game of Thrones RSD.

A chapbook has been added if you order by December 12th.
so much for my plan to wait until after Christmas shopping was complete!

[richardsrarebooks]

Same for me. I have the chapbook for ACOK so need the same for AGOT.

[Scoogs]

I'm still really glad that they added the chapbook, regardless of the deadline.
Thanks Bill!

[CyberGhostface]

I was on the fence about AGOT but looking at it I'm not crazy about the art and $300 is still way too much for me for an individual book. I'm not going to get too worked up about it; "I can't afford this premium book" is the definition of a first world problem. A little disappointing that a gift edition wasn't available but Bill told me that was a rights issue so them's the breaks.

[billstand]

If anyone's interested, posted a signed HC from 1990 of Fevre Dream signed by GRRM

Do you have purchase rights for AGOT?
If you do and can afford to cover the $300 cost for a few months, I would say buy it and flip it.
It's AGOT, you will not have an issue selling it for at least double that.

[CyberGhostface]

I don't so I guess it'd depend if there's any left when the reserve period is over. I'm not really familiar with selling books though.

Just check ebay and see how much the extra clash of kings were going for shortly after they were shipped - they sold for $550-600 - a couple of hundred dollars over issue price

[Merlin1958]

Thanks to, Simon (SGC1999) I have a signed recent book (Feast of Crows, I believe) to offer my son for Xmas!!! Many thanks, Simon my GoT guy!!!

[cit74]

High priced clash of kings on sale at camelot for $750 - kim states it has rights to get game of thrones - which for some might be worth that higher price to get Agot at issue:

Still trying to figure out the top two signatures in Dangerous Women.

[Lurker]

The one on the right with the key underneath is Lev Grossman

[Saymyname1]

And the other one on the top left is Joe Abercrombie

[cit74]

Very nice - I got my books today as well.

[becca69]

I also got the signed World book and Ice Dragon, but from Kepler's.

[cit74]

My copy from Cocteau did not have the Lev Grossman sig - but it did have the other 3

I had to go back and check my Rogues order... I had requested my # in the comments. Yay for me :D

[richardsrarebooks]

Great idea, am going to contact Bill to match my number (#26) for ACOK and AGOT to Rogues. Thanks!

[Scoogs]

Just ordered my copies of AGOT yesterday.

Unfortunately my primary number belongs to a lifetime subscriber, so I won't be able to match Rogues to my others.

[richardsrarebooks]

Bill responded and I will be getting the same (#26) number. Thanks again for the tip!

[Scoogs]

Lots of signed books are now available from the Cocteau (http://www.jeancocteaubooks.com/).
GRRM, Neil Gaiman, Lev Grossman, Junot Diaz...

[richardsrarebooks]

Some nice books listed. Wonder if any of the are first printings?

I doubt any of the ASOIAF books are, but some of the anthologies and other recent titles are firsts.
the signed copies of Dangerous Women and The World of Ice and Fire that I ordered from them were both firsts.

http://www.amazon.com/Inside-HBOs-Game-Thrones-Seasons/dp/1452110107/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1418740498&sr=8-2&keywords=Inside+game+of+thrones+seasons&pebp=1418740586802

Plus those are each $24/25

In the forbidden planet description it says : "Both of these official companion books" - so my only assumption it's just the same two books in a slip case? Also soon after hbo released the regular edition - they came out with their deluxe set for season 1&2 - so I'll have to check if something similar is set for seasons 3&4 (otherwise I'll probably get the regular edition).

Just received the collectors set yesterday and opened it this morning - it is an extremely nice production - i doubt i would buy a collectors set of season 3&4 - would take up too much space - but I will probably pick up the regular edition (B&N sent me an extra 30% off in store coupon for this weekend). Bonus - had 2 glassine sheets - so now I can put one into my Stand Coffin case - which was missing :)

Got a signed copy of Rogues from the Cocteau theater yesterday. It's a 4th printing.

Being a 2014 release, I thought this would have been likely to have been a first. I'm still happy to have a signed copy though.

[richardsrarebooks]

Got the book (through another source) signed by Patrick Rothfuss and Joe Abercrombie and it was a first. I am surprised it's already in a fourth printing. Hope in the future to get it signed by some of the other authors.

[mkberger]

I have an extra copy of the first printing, signed by Patrick Rothfuss and including the "Bast-Off" limited edition/numbered sketch card. A friend had taken a copy around for me, and that copy has a dozen or so signatures--but not GRRM, alas--so this one becomes expendable. Send me a PM if interested; asking $50 shipped.

We also have both the limited and lettered editions of the SubPress edition on order, both with remarques (one is for the GRRM, the other is the Rothfuss, I forget which). I don't need both. As above, PMs are welcome.

You might email Shawn at signedpage.com and see if he has any extra copies. They are not GRRM signed but Pat and Joe signed them.

PS - The World book is also now in it's 4th printing.

[cit74]

The rogues copy I got from Shawn/signed page was a really nice copy (1/1) - signed by Rothfuss and Abercrombie. I actually got another one from keplers - only signed by grrm - but fortunately that was a 1/1 - just a few weeks back - that one was a little rough (DJ that is) - they didn't have any more though. Any idea how many were in first printing of world? Surprised it's in 4th printing so quickly.

[Aronstg]

I got my rogues copy from Shawn as well. I'm looking for that (along with Unfettered) to be my two major signature chaser books. I'm going to have a hard time tracking down GRRM, Gaiman and Flynn though.

Thanks for the tip.

I have an unsigned 1/1 and also ordered the SubPress version, so I will probably just wait for that edition for the other author's signatures.
The signed copies of both World and Dangerous Women from the Cocteau are both 1st printings.

[ELazansky]

PS - The World book is also now in it's 4th printing.

Is it really? I was in Target last night and they still had a stack of 1st printings...

[WeDealInLead]

I'd have to go back to the store and check but I think it was either Rogues or Dangerous Women whose later printings had a DJ with a different colours. If there are images of actual books for sale, that might be an easy way to determine 1st vs. later printing.

Only 29 copies for the GoT limited.

Wow - A very popular volume, it seems.

[Scoogs]

Only 29 copies for the GoT limited.

29 copies where?

[CyberGhostface]

From Subterranean Press. I didn't take into consideration that they probably sold a number of copies to other publishers though. Although I'm just guessing here, they said up until January something only people who ordered ACOK would be able to purchase it so who knows.

[cit74]

29 copies where?

at subpress for the limited. - but aren't we still in pre-order phase? - just checked still open until 16 Jan - so more can sell. Although you imagine most collectors would have already ordered to obtain the extra booklet

You need to get those Chad... and then I will want them ;)

[Aronstg]

Just curious. What is the realistic value of a 1st/1st Game of Thrones US or UK. I know there is some dispute as to which was the true first. I think it leans towards the UK being the true 1st.

[becca69]

I think $400-600 for a US and $700-900 for UK (fine to near fine condition). More if signed. Most of the prices I see are over-inflated. An auction type listing will give you a closer to market value price than those BIN listings. Finding copies in that price range just takes patience.

And this is what GRRM says about the first edition:
"The Bantam 1996 edition was the true first, as I see things. It had a silver foil cover with an embossed throne but no other illustration. That one has become quite valuable, and seems to sell for $200 to $600 (depending on condition), the last time I checked.

The HarperCollins/ Voyager 1996 edition was the British first. Its official publication date was earlier than that of the Bantam edition, but Bantam went to print several months early to hand out copies at the ABA, so I consider theirs the true first. However, the British edition had a much smaller print run. As a consequence, it is much rarer, and even more valuable. I’ve seen it selling for anywhere from $800 to $1500 on the internet."

[Aronstg]

Thanks for the info!! I have the Sub Press version coming but I will probably keep my eyes out for a good conditioned 1st/1st.

[cit74]

I was able to get a Voyager AGOT on ebay last week for $450 - seemed to be in pretty nice condition - coming from across the pond. I will post once I get them (there are a few others coming as well). Mine was not fine - but possibly the best I can do.

I had my UK 1st/1st (Voyager, and unread in mint condition) signed by GRRM in London last year. he looked at the book - loped a bit closer and asked me: Do you know what you have here? Do you have any idea what this book sells for?
I pretended not to know and George valued it around $2000.00. Just an author's pride speaking here or close to the truth?

BTW, I also had my mint UK/Voyager/unread/mint A Clash of Kings signed by him. :dance:

It's always possible if it's a perfect copy and signed... just have to find the right buyer. There are some listings for sale at that price but I don't know if any have sold that high.

I made the mistake of not purchasing a copy in publisher's shrink wrap and it ended up selling for less than $350 a few years ago (and no it wasn't a BCE). I still kick myself over that one.

[becca69]

I got a few things over the holidays.

[racerx45]

Nice, I like the Game of Thrones package. Congrats

[Booknutt]

I've never understood the appeal of having publishers shrink wrap on books since the plastic is not archival and hence can be harmful to the book.

[WeDealInLead]

They probably figure most people take it off to read them. It's not meant for long term protection, just keeps the book pristine in storage and on shelves. No latte fingerprints on my books please!

[becca69]

Oh, the shrink-wrap would have come right off but it was in very fine condition - the best I've seen.

[Kingfan24]

So what is this book going to do on the secondary market? Got nuts?

[sharki69]

A Game of Thrones & A Clash Of Kings George R R Martin Subterranean Press Set goes for $1,200 - $2000

[mkb.redux]

Got one. Fast fingers were involved.

[Aronstg]

Yeah.. only 20 copies left so I am guessing those sold out in the first few minutes. Probably had 1000 people trying for those 20 copies. Sorry if you didn't get one :(

[Aronstg]

A Game of Thrones & A Clash Of Kings George R R Martin Subterranean Press Set goes for $1,200 - $2000

I think it will probably go for closer to the $1200 than the $2000. I think CoK copies were only selling for around $700 and that was to get GoT I assume. I'm thinking $1200-$1500 maybe? Heck I'd sell my set in a heart beat for $2000! lol

[thegunslinger41]

What is the issue price???

[sharki69]

$300 I believe

[Aronstg]

If I remember correctly CoK was $295 and GoT was $305. Something like that.

[cit74]

Saw the email 20 minutes after it was sent - they were all gone by then. Not like I could buy another one through subpress though. Since Bill would only allow one copy per address/cc. I bought another book at same time - so not sure about exact cost - but it was right around $300. The lettered wasn't that much more - now that was a "deal"

[ELazansky]

I am so glad I started a numbered set when I did - even though ASoS is a PC, all the other Sub Press books will match.

[ELazansky]

A Game of Thrones & A Clash Of Kings George R R Martin Subterranean Press Set goes for $1,200 - $2000

I don't think so - those books are much higher, if you even find them for sale.

You're probably right - I guess I was thinking who could be selling a Sub Press set since the book hasn't come out yet.

And congrats on the marriage!

[Scoogs]

The MM ACOK is probably the cheapest of all the S/L, but AGOT goes for a couple of thousand on its own.
I suspect the SP AGOT could hit $1000-1200 since there's a lot of demand.

I'll have an extra set of AGOT and ACOK once they are release, but those won't be up for sale until I have them.

[Merlin1958]

I, admittedly, do not know squat about this series. However, my son is a huge fan. I have been buying signed copies for him for Christmas the last few years and screwed up and doubled up on "Feast". He needs Vol I and III signed so I am in the market for either with the caveat that you will accept installment payments and the signed "Feast" in any deal. I'm a very honest guy and expect the same honesty in any dealings here. I don't want "favors" I am fully prepared to pay fair market value, I just trust that anyone offering will know what that is, as I have little knowledge of the market for these books.

Having said all that, it would make me really happy to make my son really happy and take one step closer to completing his collection. So I am throwing myself open to anyone that can help, in any way!!!

[Merlin1958]

Thank you, but I try to keep it simple. I am looking for a signed 1/1 of either Vol I or III. I'm probably not going to track him down for a signature, but my son could so I would consider a deal for a 1/1 GoT (Vol I) as I know they are expensive. I'm a real "newbie" in this arena and need my hand held.
