Storm

We’re getting closer. The first copies of A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin just arrived in our offices, and they’re absolutely gorgeous. Our printer reproduced Charles Vess’ black and white and color illustrations perfectly, and Gail Cross’ design only adds to the package.

Copies also arrived at our slipcase manufacturer’s yesterday. We’ll be approving sample case with all due haste, and hope to be shipping the finished books in 3-4 weeks, beginning the moment those cases arrive in our offices.

Thanks to everyone for their patience on this one. We think you’ll find it worth the wait.
