Today sees the publication of Lands of Ice and Fire. Fans of both the popular HBO (Game of Thrones) series and books will now be able to see maps of the known world in George R.R. Martin’s magnificent creation. The hardback case holds 12 beautiful maps:
THE KNOWN WORLD- THE WEST
- CENTRAL ESSOS
- THE EAST
- WESTEROS
- BEYOND THE WALL
- THE FREE CITIES
- SLAVER’S BAY
- THE DOTHRAKI SEA
- KING’S LANDIN
- BRAAVOS
- JOURNEYS
If, like us, you love a good map so that you follow the story visually as you read, then this is a must-buy.
I’m not sure where I can go to talk about this..but the box set of the Ice and Fire books published by Harper Voyager Books has A LOT of typos, formatting errors, etc. I have other versions of this series, and nowhere have I seen so many typos, meaning the original transcripts do not have these errors. I’ve always thought HV books are wonderful and with great quality, but this is a really big disappointment.
I’ll second Jessica’s comment – I came to this website specifically to leave this comment for the publishers.
To pick one of many examples,
p. 761 of the 2011 pbk ed of G.O.T:
‘his blue-and-red clock stained by blood and smoke’ – ehhhh ????
surely this should read cloak, not clock?
Come on HarperCollins, employ some literate _human_ proof-readers and don’t rely on spell-checking software!
