So the US doesn't even get the Theon one? That's kind of weak :/

[Justice for Elia]

GRRM has said it will not be the Theon chapter he posted for Christmas. Maybe either the Arianne or Aeron chapters he has read/offered to read? Personally, I am hungry for some Sansa, but you never know.

I think the copy I found was was for international sale only, so the official US release will have a new sample chapter.  
But I think it's confirmed the two part UK edition coming out in 5 days will have Theon.

[Goran Cvijanovic]

Maybe Jon Snow

[King Bolton 1990]

It will probably be someone  with an interesting first chapter like Davos  in the beginning of his journey to find Rickon or maybe Cersei learning of Kevan's death but it most likely will not reveal much of anything. Like the Theon sample chapter all it really does is leave more questions .

[Sworn Shield]

Now the Peperback is out can anyone confirm what the bonus POV is going to be.

[Arkash]

It will be either Aeron Greyjoy, Arianne Martell or Victarion Greyjoy.

Curious to know, awaiting news here !

[waaimasjien]

I highly doubt the two-volume edition will be any different than the one-volume edition Harper published one week earlier.

I do think the US paperback will have a new sample chapter since it's going to be released a little later.

A friend of mine got the paperback and she says there's no POV of TWoW at the end of the book. Disappointing.

Not Aeron, hopefully. I'm terminally unable to give a fuck about the Ironborn.

I want a Davos chapter the most because I wanna know if he gets Rickon back to White Harbor and I want White Harbor to join stannis so we can bring the Boltons and Freys and Eventually Walder Frey to Justice. My Second choice would be a Jon Snow Chapter because the saying "only death releases you from your vows." I hope that Jon dies then gets resurrected my Melisandre and Joins Stannis as Jon Stark and rallies the North to Stannis' Cause. (But thats only my dream.) I wouldn't really care about a Sansa Chapter she has not really done anything ever in the series except condemn Eddard Stark and stay captive and get smashed on by Kingsguard Knights. My third choice would be a Tyrion Chapter and I wonder how he is gonna get Casterly Rock. Or finally a Jon Connington chapter or something so we can know what Aegon plans to do as far as his battle plans are. But heres something even better why doesn't Geroge just htfu and write his damned books already. I imagine that all he does is watch HBO all day. The guy is like 60 something and I think he should hurry up It didn't take Rowling long to finish the Harry Potter books with the movie deal I wonder if the show will stop because if his lack of writing.

What you said about Sansa, that's not true... Sansa has grown up. She learned a lot living bewteen the snakes in King's Landing. And her history with Littlefinger in the Vale of Arryn is most interesting. She's learning how to play the Game of Thrones, with one of the best players. I would be delighted with a chapter telling what's going on with her and Littlefinger's plans.

Yes. Still no chapter. But I went to Martin's blog and confirmed that he promised the chapter for the paperback edition to be launched in June July. the post is this one: http://grrm.livejour...com/257002.html

A paperback that I looked at in a store in Hull, United Kingdom, had the Theon release chapter included. So it appears that at least in the UK release, there is no new chapter.

[CrypticWeirwood]

There’s no way to know what the US version will get, because it hasn’t been published yet.

[Dolorous Ali]

It'd be one of the POVs I hate. Just my luck. GRRM and gods and dogs alike like to piss on me!

[LuisDantas]

Just to give people a concrete data point, let me say that there is no TWOW preview chapter at all in the international mass market paperback of ADWD that was released a couple of months ago.  Its ISBN is 978-0-553-84112-1.  By Bantam.

But there will be in the US version which will be released in August. GRRM has confirmed it himself.
