The Breaker of Chains Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It's a grey cloth with a stamped foil dragon on the cover, no other text. The title and author names are stamped in silver on the spine. Looks quite nice, actually. Thanks so much! I appreciate the description/opinion. I'm a bit worried about the feel of the jacket but perhaps it's not something to worry over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2 0 5 5 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Pretty excited for this book. Just a week away! The artwork looked brilliant on the picture GRRM posted on his journal about a month or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tyrion I Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Amazon Germany sent me an email today that It'll be delivered next Tuesday (10/28). Yay! So much looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost's Shadow Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 You need to mail back and ask them why neighbouring countries don't get their usual 2-3 day delivery, but have to wait an extra week on top of that, to get to a possible 5-6 Nov delivery date. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 My delivery date is back to Oct 28th Ghost's Shadow, but they did not email me to update me of this. Its worth checking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_Darcy Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Amazon Germany sent me an email today that It'll be delivered next Tuesday (10/28). Yay! So much looking forward to it. That's really interesting, because I ordered it from Amazon Germany, too (I live in Germany) and for me the estimated delivery date is November 5th. I even phoned them toady and they said, that they could not send it before November 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Varys Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 My hard-copy through amazon.de should also arrive on 28th, according to a recent update. Originally, it was supposed to arrive on 28th November, and then on 3rd November, and now on the release date. But I've pre-ordered the book as soon as it was listed there. If I remember correctly, then the date of the order sort of determines who gets served first. I'd not surprised if you all got your copy on the 28th/29th, though. At least as long as amazon.de gets enough copies of the book in advance to make good on all the pre-order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost's Shadow Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I had a pre-order from last year up, first, and that one also had the 5-6 Nov delivery date. It was the red cover so I had to switch to the black one ( :P ). I'm not entirely sold on it not being here next week, but only on the 5-6 Nov, because as you say, if they have enough books then they'll ship them out. No need to wait.

Lord Varys Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Well, I'll just ordered both editions - the Black and the Red Dragon. Or 'the Red and the Black', to make a reference to a very good X Files episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only pre-ordered this summer off Amazon UK and I will likely have mine before you :uhoh: If its any consolation, I will or will not spoil you as you request ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piet Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Voraussichtlicher Liefertermin: Mittwoch, 5. November 2014 - Donnerstag, 6. November 2014 Probably better than the 28th though, got an exam the day after :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost's Shadow Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Helena, I have ordered from the German Amazon, but I live in Belgium. ;) I have standard shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Standard shipping could be part of the reason I guess. I got free same day delivery, because I think I signed up to Amazon Prime or Amazon Student or Amazon Interwebs or Amazon Nerd or whatever the thing is called. My charge dropped yesterday to £4 and change, which was nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozemarijn Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I live in the UK. I had it on the 28 delivered, but we changed shipping adress and now it is the 4th of november. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitering Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Cozur (Clash of Kings mod creator), got his today. Amazon still has mine being sent out tomorrow. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtherSnow Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'm tracking my UK copy now. It's in a depot somewhere currently, on its way for tomorrow (28th) delivery. Amazon usually deliver around 13:40. I've never known them be later than that. Did anyone check if they'd ordered Kindle version instead of book? That's not around until later, like 20th November.

Daenyra Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Mine will be delivered between November 21st-December 12th. :worried: Andraste's holy knickers! It is going to be a long dark November this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost's Shadow Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 On Amazon.de, the UK version isn't in stock any more, and my delivery hasn't moved closer to today, but is still for 5-6 Nov. Soooo disappointed.Naturally, the US edition is still in stock, but more expensive. I could kick myself a bit for cancelling the 1.5 years ago pre-ordered red cover version and not keeping it as ordered to closer the release date (then I would have known about the dust cover) and I could perhaps still have had it this week. Lesson for TWoW: order about every version the minute it comes onto the site and delete once you are sure it's not the version you want, lol. Weird to see that even Amazon.UK would be able to deliver the book faster to me than DE. Edit: You know what? Estimated delivery: 31 Oct 2014 - 1 Nov 2014. There. I'm a bit poorer, but at least I can have it by Monday or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
