Falconer Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hi, there! I own a hodgepodge of editions, and would like to begin to be more intentional in my collecting. Here’s a thread dedicated to question #1 for a collector: Is it sewn or glued only? I have only begun to investigate this question, and have many assumptions and gaps in my knowledge. Please help! A Song of Ice and Fire US Standard Editions - AGoT ACoK ASoS are sewn; AFfC ADwD are glued US “Amazon” Boxed Set (AGoT ACoK ASoS AFfC) - all sewn UK Standard Editions - glued AFfC UK Red Slipcase Edition (2005) - glued AGoT US “Barnes & Noble” Blue Deluxe Edition (2011) - sewn UK Blue Slipcase Editions (2011) - glued UK Red Slipcase Editions (2016) - sewn AGoT US/UK Illustrated Edition (2016) - glued The World of Ice & Fire US Edition - glued UK Edition - sewn A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms US Edition - sewn UK Edition - glued Fire & Blood US Edition - glued UK Edition - glued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becca69 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 AKOTSK UK is glued (it has head/tail bands so it tricked me at first). I can't get to World of Ice & Fire right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconer Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Thanks, Becca. I was hoping you could fill in the gaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconer Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 I stopped by at B&N today, and unfortunately the US ed. of Fire & Blood is glued. I don’t have confirmation of this, but based on pictures I’ve seen on eBay, the UK edition is also glued, as I would expect. The World of Ice & Fire (US) is in shrinkwrap, so, I couldn’t tell for certain, and I’d be happy to learn otherwise, but, usually if a book is sewn, it is fairly easy to be certain. So I’m going to note it as glued. Luckily, the UK edition definitely appears to be sewn, per YouTube: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
