Editorial Reviews

It's Game of Thrones catch-up time. As millions of fans binge-watch past episodes of the record-breaking show, author George R.R. Martin labors hard to finish Ice & Fire books 6 and 7 to stay ahead of the series. This ideal companion won't likely help Martin, but it does provide both new fans and aficionados alike with fascinating material on nearly every aspect of this groundbreaking fantasy epic. Inside HBO's Game of Thrones Book #2 takes viewers behind the scenes of Seasons 3 and 4 with hundreds of unpublished set photographs; visual effects art; production and costume designs; insights from actors and crew; and scripted and unscripted passages from the show. An instant collectible; a gift of the season.
