Sea Snake Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I just find about the new illustrated book The Rise of the Dragons that is coming in October. Results on amazon.de are confusing:https://www.amazon.de/s?k=The+Rise+of+the+Dragon&crid=1MFKNDPULQSC6&sprefix=the+rise+of+the+dragon%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 There are two books with the same: name, authors, page count... everything except for a price. One version has more expensive hardcover and another has more expensive Kindle edition. So, what is the difference (beside the color of the cover)? Green book: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/George-R-R-Martin/dp/0008557101 Red book: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/George-R-Martin/dp/1984859250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyx Rivers Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 They're by different publishers. The red one is by Ten Speed Press, belonging to Random House, and the green one is by Voyager, belonging to HarperCollins. I think, the green one may be the British version, but I'm not sure.

Ran Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Yes, the green one is from HarperCollins. They should be essentially the same, text and art-wise. It's a big, illustrated book with 180 new pieces of art from a variety of artists, while condensing Fire and Blood to be more manageable in size for those who found its ~700 pages of Targaryen history a bit too daunting. If you know F&B and don't care about the art, there's very, very little new information and I would not worry about it. But if you do like the artwork and want something that sits besides The World of Ice and Fire (it is the same dimensions), check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
