    I'm glad you mentioned the font size of the books it's extremely useful to know. Lots of paperbacks have font that's too small to read comfortably. I'm going to pick up the 20th anniversary edition it looks really nice.

      I'm glad it was helpful. That's true, it becomes really tough to read with small fonts.

    The regular larger paperback is better because the text size is bigger, making it easier to read. Plus the smaller book gets ruined easier.

    Thank you for showing the pages on the different editions. It helped me decide which version to get. I bought the used paperback editions due to font size and budget constraints. The first and fifth books on hardcover were tempting due to their low price, but it's inconvenient to carry a heavy book.

    The problem with that specific hardcover edition is that it's the 20th anniversary illustrated edition meaning A Feast for Crows should be the next one that'll get released in 2025 and after that A Dance With Dragons should release in 2031.
    I think that those editions are probably the coolest looking editions I've seen, but the fact that they seem to be adamant about releasing those on the 20th anniversary of the original book's release is really a shame. If Winds of Winter were to release tomorrow I'd have to wait until 2042 to get that edition into my collection and I don't think I'll want to wait that long. Not to even mention the wait for A Dream of Spring.
    I'll probably end up getting the red leather bound slipcase editions.

      If you're fine with slow high fantasy then definitely go for it. I'm not a big fan of it's pace or even book one. But still Jordan's magic system again is unique and amazing. One fantasy fan should always consider more and more such books. I have read first four books and now looking forward to the rest. 😄

    I keep hearing that the 20th edition is very expensive everywhere, but here in Denmark(on danish websites and from one of the biggest bookstores in Denmark) I can get it for around 230-450 DKK(around 30-70 USD). Is that a scam???
    The 450DKK one is from a very popular and trustworthy bookstore(bog&ide) here in Denmark, not at all likely to sell fake books. But it has been getting me worried that they’re not the same books although they look exactly like the one in your video!(from their pics online)

      @SK-wl5ek Před 11 měsíci

      I know that some European publishers would split a book in 2 or more parts and sell them separately. Consequentially the price drops since you are only buying half of the book. Granted they don’t do it very often nowadays, but still it might be what you are dealing with here. So if you see Martin’s work being sold for too cheap of a price, just double check if it is a complete edition and not a divided version.
