GRRM was kind enough to sign my books on two separate occasions at Technicon 25. The first time was while he was waiting patiently before going on stage to read a Jon chapter from A Dance of Dragons. He signed my first editions of A Song of Ice and Fire I had collected over the past year. I was very excited about these:

A Game of Thrones - US Bantam 1st Edition HC

A Clash of Kings - US Bantam 1st Edition HC

A Storm of Swords - US Bantam 1st Edition HC

A Feast for Crows - US Bantam 1st Edition HC

The second time was later that day at a signing and photo session:

Legends I - US Tor 1st Edition HC

Legends II - US Del Ray 1st Edition HC

Windhaven - US Bantam 2nd Edition HC

The following are books that were already signed by GRRM when I received them:

A Feast for Crows - UK Harper Collins Signed Deluxe Edition #851 HC

Fevre Dream - US Poseidon 1st Edition HC

Dreamsongs I - US Bantam 1st Edition HC

Dreamsongs II - US Bantam 1st Edition HC

I only began collecting GRRM materials a year ago, when I became a fan.

Have almost all Limited Editions by George. Only missing Legends I. Maybe some day I will be crazy enough to spend $1000 ++ . An additional bonus is that I will then have a book signed by the great Tairy :drool:

I recently purchased the AFFC Voyager International edition off of ebay. I have #182/300 from memory. If anyone's interested, there's another one up (same person I bought off of), it says ships to Australia only, but you could always try messaging him if you want it internationally.

I have Starlady/Fastfriends, a double anthology volume from Subpress that came signed.

At WorldCon last year I bought a signed first edition of Fevre Dream. I also got my copies of AGOT, Tuf Voyaging, Hunter's Run signed after the Wild Cards panel which Martin moderated. The cool part is that both Daniel Abraham and Gardner Dozois attended the panel so I got Hunter's Run signed by all three authors. I just wish I had thought to bring Inside Straight with me.

Tuf Voyaging (Meisha Merlin Limited Edition)

I have never seen one of these in person. What is your overall impression of this one? I like the Haviland Tuff stories, but I wasn't sure what sort of special treatment they have given this book.

Excellent collection and thanks for posting it.

I would give it 3.5/5

The slipcase spine has silver title stamping

One full page color illustration on the beginning of the book (after limitation page)

Interior B&W illustrations

Plain limitation page

That's about it.

I don't like the art style, but that is probably just me.
