Progress, finally! Justin Sweet has just turned in all the color and interior black-and-white artwork for Geoge R. R. Martin’s vampire masterwork, Fevre Dream, the cover of which you can already check out. We’ll post a few of the interior illos (b&w and color) shortly. Thanks to everyone who’s been waiting the years it’s taken us to pull this project together. Look for another progress report shortly.

Now, on to A Feast for Crows. Tom Canty has turned in every last bit of art for volume one, which we’ve sent to GRRM to make sure everything is exactly as he’d like it. Soon as he signs off on the art placement and design — which we expect him to do later this week or early next — we’ll have our proofer start in looking for stray errors that may have crept into the files we received from Bantam. Look for the covers, and a further update, soon.

Finally, Elizabeth Bear’s New Amsterdam is selling so phenomenally well — we’re down to the last 60 copies of the trade edition — that we don’t expect to have it in stock for more than another week.
