A Feast of Crows cover

Krug · Jun 15, 2003

Well none of the Song of Ice and Fire covers have been particularly memorable or intriguing.

Whatever the eventual pub. date in the US ends up being, its a pretty safe bet that it will be out in Britain a month or two earlier. At least that's been the case with Martin's last two. Not that the Voyager covers are that much better...

While not amazingly superb or anything, I'd say that cover is quite the improvement over the US one.

Whoever told you August 26, don't trust them.

Them man himself still says the book is not finished and that "until such time as I actually deliver the book, any publication date is pure guesswork."

Yes I know, I work in a bookstore. I also visit his website regularly,which I have bookmarked, to see what he says. I am just going off information from other sources that I have. I just left out the words "tentative date".

I've seen the October 2002 and the April 2003 dates come and go and saw the dates on the computer change as those dates approached so I know that August 26 is not written in stone... just in electronic format.

Don't really care about the cover

Personally as long as the book is a good read, I could care less if the book cover had "impressive" artwork. This is one book I'm going straight to hardcover, hope it'll be worth it.

Upsetting News

On the Song of Ice and Fire boards someone started a thread showing Amazon.com has a release date of April 2004 now (which it does). Well let me say that they have posted the tenative date of April 2004. Another 10 months.

I will check at work tomorrow to see what my computer says. I just checked Buy.com and they still have the Aug 26, 2003 still up though. I looked for it at B&N.com but couldn't find it.

Oh the pain!!!!

I apologize if this is just a viscous rumor but I thought I'd let you'll know.

The online retailers seem to be as clueless as the rest of us when it comes to the date of publication. Martin has said before that he's got no idea how they come up with the dates they post. You'd be better off checking his website, http://www.georgerrmartin.com/ for info from the man himself.
