Daendrew Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I am looking to buy the hardcover version of A Game of Thrones with Jon Snow on the cover. What year was that published in? It is this one I ordered a 2002 printing but it had the blue sword cover and not Jon Snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was published in 2002 and it's hard to find, especially in good condition (with the 1st print number line). There were up to 3 or 4 reprints of this second edition. I wouldn't order a book without verifying the cover or the print line. Publishers may use the same setting of type (so the year won't change), and change the print line and dust jacket art. This edition sells for anywhere between $400-$600+ for a fine 1st print copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconer Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 The trick is to look for it in a lot with multiple books on eBay. (Probably books you don’t need.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. I was not expecting it costing more than the first printing would cost!! They are selling a signed 1st printing for $500 on ebay. But I already spent 8k on ASOIAF this year, I am tapped out.

becca69 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Yep, this one is much harder to find than a true first. I guess everyone wants that Stephen Youll art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
