Lady Littlefinger Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi everyone, weren't sure where to post this but here goes....Does anyone know when ADWD is due to be release on paperback in the UK?I'm currently reading AFFC and don't want a long break between the books. I have also seen somewhere that they are planning on splitting it- like they did with SOS. That doesn't bother me though.I have seen unofficially that release is October 2012 but surely I don't have to wait that long!! Another source says April 2012.Does anyone know of an OFFICIAL release date?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuisDantas Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 How is a mass market version different from a trade paperback? Sorry if it is a trivial question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Selig Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Trade paperbacks are much bigger in size, the same as hardcovers, mass market paperbacks are smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Barristan Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 God I want to know what the sample chapter is going to be so badly... I'm sure it won't give much away, but who do people think are the candidates? We know he has done 2 Arianne chapters, a Sansa, and an Arya... so i assume it will be one of those.

kephv Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 He also has a Damphair one. I'm guessing the one he's already read publicly before - the Arianne one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quint Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 He also has a Damphair one. I'm guessing the one he's already read publicly before - the Arianne one.Yeah I'd hope so, i don't want him to give too much away even though it would only be 2 chapters.I would still tear a mountain apart to read the chapter if it wasn't the Arianne one though haha.

Black Crow Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 In the UK, HarperVoyager is publishing the mass market paperback in two parts: Dreams and Dust & After the Feast. These will be released in March 15th.That's sensible, a single volume paperback would fall to bits quicker than than a White Walker stabbed by dragonglass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waaimasjien Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 In the UK, HarperVoyager is publishing the mass market paperback in two parts: Dreams and Dust & After the Feast. These will be released in March 15th.That's funny... The Dutch translation is split in two parts but uses "Oude vetes, nieuwe strijd" and "Zwaarden tegen draken", which translates to "Old feuds, new battle/struggle" and "Swords against dragons". For A Storm of Swords, the Dutch versions used translated UK titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sforzando Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Dreams and Dust. What do you think that's referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuisDantas Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Dreams and Dust. What do you think that's referring to?Dreams of conquest (Melisandre, Stannis, Daenerys, the Griffs, the Martells), of redemption (Barristan) or both (Tyrion, Jaime, Cersei).Dreams of recovering control over one's own destiny, or of staving off a bad one (Jon, Arya, Sansa, Brienne).The Dust of dreams gone astray. As in that famous saying about mice and men.A very good title, albeit a bit generic. It could easily fit for any other volume of the series, for instance.But if you want specifics, I believe it is a hint that there will be some resolution for the conflicts in the North (I don't see how there could not be) and perhaps significant advance in the Griff and Daenerys plots. Oh, and Tyrion's too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loras Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Does anyone know if the uk paperbacks will also contain the sample chapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sforzando Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I wonder where they'll split it. 'After the Feast' could start anywhere after Areo's chapter to fit its moniker, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveSumm Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hello, sorry to dredge up an old thread.......just popped into my local bookstore in the UK to buy the paperback editions of A Dance With Dragons, to discover that they're slightly larger than the previous mass market paperbacks that I have in the series. They've also re-released all the other titles to match. I'm not sure if these are trade or mass market paperbacks. Does anyone know if aDwD will eventually be released in the slightly smaller versions or am I, as I strongly suspect, destined to either have an irregular set of books or simply re-purchase the whole set? Then hope they don't change them again later and render my re-purchase pointless? Sigh....Also if anyone's interested, the first chapter of part II is 'The Turncloak', and it contains all maps seen so far in the series (north, south, slavers, iron islands, kings landing, western side of Essos) but they all match the previous style, so the Essos map has been redrawn to match the style of aSoS.
