A Game of Thrones: The Illustrated Edition (A Song of Ice and Fire Illustrated Edition)

Description:

A dazzling edition of the book that began the iconic A Song of Ice and Fire series, featuring 8 full-color illustrations and over 70 black-and-white illustrations—bringing the mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure of the magnificent saga that inspired HBO’s A Game of Thrones to life as never before.

With a special foreword by John Hodgman

In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the North of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect gift item for Game of Throne fans - great value for money too

J.D. · January 12, 2026

Fantastic book. My son asked me to order him this special edition. The illustrations ate remarkable indeed. The quality of the book is perfect. Especialy thanks for the celofane wrap that kept the book in perfect condition even within the box.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Buy for All Fans

A.S. · October 24, 2016

I love it. In fact, I'm smitten. There is only one flaw in the book, as far as I can tell, and it is the fact that many of the illustrated pages are printed greyscale. I feel like 3/5 are greyscale. It's only one fault, but it grates my nerves. This is a collector's edition, and they took the time to give you these beautiful illustrations, but you can't fully appreciate some of the illustrations, because some of the details are lost without color. Some sigils might be hard to see, or house colors are impossible to figure out since they are shown in blacks, greys, and whites.This works against the placement of the illustrated pages, since the scenes pictured aren't necessarily happening on the page they're paired with. They just relate to that particular chapter. I'm assuming they did it to keep the cost down, but if that is the case, then why not provide the option to buy a more expensive, fully-colored version? That being said, I do appreciate the fair cost of this current book. You get your money's worth for the price. I would just like the option for the fully colored version.The reason above is the only thing that made me hesitate on giving this book 5 stars. I still fully recommend that everyone buy it. The illustrations are gorgeous. Gorgeous. And they fit the descriptions in the book alot more accurately, which is even more amazing since the illustrations were done by different people. I counted at least 4 different painting styles. All of the paintings beautifully captured the characters and various moments in the book.This book is still the well-written masterpiece by George Martin, only it now has a beautiful hardback cover (the best cover out of the ones available, in my opinion). If you don't own a copy of Game of Thrones, this is the one to buy. And if you do own a copy of Game of Thrones, I think you will still enjoy owning this book. Gift your old copy to a friend who has yet to discover the magic of Westeros, and pick up this version. It's definitely worth it.

The illustrations in this book are absolutely stunning! Perfect for the story. And what a story! Ice zombies! Betrayal! Family Drama! People who for aome reason cant come up with different names! Seriously, Dany? Rhaego? Seriously, Starks and Arryns? Brandon? Jon?Not important!A series of wild events that starts with the death of Jon Arryn, Hand of the king ends up with Ned Stark taking his place. Oh, and there are ice zombies)Its a wild ride filled with some of the most lovable and despicable characters in fantasy that ive read so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, great segue from the show to the books

J.G. · June 12, 2019

I have tried to read the series for a few years now and always have struggled with seeing the actors in my head and the settings from the show. I was determined to find a way to get fully immersed in the books to read "the true story". The show was excellent but Martin crafted this story with his own two hands, and his hands alone. I was not able to immerse myself in the audio books or the eBook. I stumbled upon this version and thought that the hard copy would help me read this series that I love so much. The illustrated version is an experience. It helps see past the show and see the story and charters how they were meant to be. I was really able to get myself fully immersed in the story with the help of the wonderful art throughout the book. I can not wait for the second books illustrated edition to come out!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful edition with a couple small flaws - plus how to get that sticker residue off the back

A. · May 22, 2019

This is an excellent gift for any fan of the books! I thought there were plenty of illustrations, though some are placed in odd locations within the story content, but my two main quibbles are 1) the sticker on the back and 2) the red title band that wraps around the cover. The sticker is removable but of course leaves a residue behind - for those who don't know, after carefully removing the sticker and any paper bits left behind, use a very small amount (nickel-size) of olive oil on a paper towel and wipe over the residue using a little pressure to remove the residue. Then use another paper towel very slightly damp and wipe off the remaining olive oil. Wiping in small circles with a little bit of pressure works best. You can probably get some kind of cleaner for this but I was worried anything like that might damage the cover. Olive oil does the job with no damage, just don't get it inside the book!As to the red band, enh, not aesthetically in-line with the rest of the cover really. The cover has an old-world feel but the red band is decidedly modern, so it clashes. It's a small thing but it does spoil the presentation, IMO. Maybe future versions will be modified.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just so you know

A. · August 26, 2023

This book is beautiful, and the colors are vibrant. It arrived in perfect condition. I will say though that i wished i knew beforehand that the quality of the other illustrated versions of the series went downhill after the first book. In book 3 a storm of swords the illustrations are just really bad, and you can't tell who it is or what's going on and they are not in color. The illustrated edition of a feast for crows and a dance with dragons are not available (at least from Bolo). So, if you are looking to get a whole matching set of the series i wouldn't get the illustrated versions and probably just buy the whole set. I was new to the series and thought i would buy the books as i read them but since the illustrated versions aren't available after book 3 they are not going to sit pretty together on my shelf.

Décevant.

J’ai cherché des photos de cette édition sur internet avant d’effectuer mon achat, afin de voir si ça valait la peine. Le rêve qu’on m’a vendu sur Google: une couverture effet cuir, l’espèce de rectangle rouge (« grrm / a game of thrones / the illustrated edition ») retirable comme une couverture en papier classique, l’extérieur des pages ayant un effet doré dessus. La décevante realité: pas d’effet doré, une couverture épaisse et avec un peu de relief, ce qui est assez cool, mais le fameux rectangle rouge ne se retire en fait pas du tout! Il fait partie de la couverture. C’est extrêmement laid et donne l’impression de tenir en main une photocopie cheap de la vraie édition spéciale. Étant donné que la plupart d’entre nous achètent cette édition pour des raisons esthétiques, c’est très décevant...Les cartes en couleur et certaines illustrations sont sympa (raison pour laquelle je donne deux étoiles au lieu d’une), mais ça s’arrête là. Autant vendre juste un album avec les illustrations plutôt que cette parodie...

Definitely worth buying
