Martin’s work from the 1970’s through the 1990’s. His earlier science fiction, fantasy, and horror writing before A GAME OF THRONES was superb. Martin is one of the few writers to have won the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, the World Fantasy Award, and the Bram Stoker Award). From the dust jacket: “ . . . Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R.R. Martin’s monumental epic cycle of high fantasy. Now, in A FEAST FOR CROWS, Martin delivers the long-awaited fourth book of his landmark series, as a kingdom torn asunder finds itself at last on the brink of peace . . . only to be launched on an even more terrifying course of destruction . . . A FEAST FOR CROWS . . . It seems too good to be true. The war of the Five Kings has finally ground to an uneasy halt, with House Lannister and their allies the apparent victors. But all is still not well in the land . . . With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King’s Landing. Robb Stark’s demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist -- or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively . . . But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be-dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces -- some familiar, others only just appearing -- are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead . . . It is a time when the wise and the ambitious, the deceitful and the strong, will acquire the skills, the power, and the magic to survive the stark and terrible times that lie before them. It is a time for nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages, to come together and stake their fortunes . . . and their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the guests -- but only a few are the survivors . . . “ From the rear panel of the dust jacket: Praise for George R.R. Martin’s A GAME OF THRONES: “ . . . Grabs hold and won’t let go. It’s brilliant.” -- Robert Jordan Praise for George R.R. Martin’s A GAME OF THRONES: “ . . . Such a splendid tale and such a fantistorical! I read my eyes out . . . “ -- Anne McCaffrey Praise for George R.R. Martin’s A CLASH OF KINGS: “ . . . Martin amply fulfills the first volume’s promise and continues what seems destined to be one of the best fantasy series ever written . . . “ -- Denver Post Praise for George R.R. Martin’s A CLASH OF KINGS: “ . . . This is high fantasy with a vengeance.” -- San Diego Union-Times Praise for George R.R. Martin’s A STORM OF SWORDS: “ . . . A riveting continuation of a series whose brilliance continues to dazzle . . . “ -- Patriot News From the rear panel of the dust jacket: praise for George R.R. Martin’s A STORM OF SWORDS: “ . . . High fantasy doesn’t get any better than this . . . “ -- Oregonian  _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I grade books and dust jackets: fine, near fine, very good, good, fair, and poor. I describe all faults. If you sell books on EBAY (or anywhere else), it is de rigueur not to list 1st printings of book club books as 1st editions (unless they ARE the 1st edition, which occurs only occasionally); also, a 1st edition, 7th printing, is not a 1st edition. Ex-library books must be noted as such since generally they are of little value to the collector of 1st editions. Condition is also very important to those collectors. Books and dust jackets must be described in detail. In other words, it is incumbent upon the SELLER to know what is and is not a 1st edition. Mistakes can be made (and corrected), of course, but if you DON'T KNOW, don't try to sell a book as a 1st edition. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CONDITION: A FINE book in a FINE dust jacket. The book is tight and square in its red quarter-cloth and red boards binding. There is no writing in the book; no bookplates; no remainder marks. The book has the correct map endpapers. This may actually be an unread copy of this book. The dust jacket is NOT price-clipped and shows the correct 1st issue price of $28.00. There are no chips or tears or wrinkles to the dust jacket. This is clearly a superior copy of this book (and this dust jacket). The great and famous and appropriate dust jacket artwork is by the famous fantasy and science fiction artist Stephen Youll. This is a quite nice and collectible copy of A FEAST FOR CROWS. A MUST FOR THE COLLECTOR OF IMPORTANT MODERN FANTASY FICTION 1st EDITIONS AND/OR THE COLLECTOR OF “A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE” 1st EDITIONS AND/OR THE COLLECTOR OF GEORGE R.R. MARTIN 1st EDITIONS! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Additional photos are available upon request. I am continuing to list some of my best books (especially science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions) on EBAY not so much as auctions (due to the fact that EBAY charges quite a bit to list items for reserve auctions), but more along the lines of listing my “catalogue” of books that I have for sale. I'm not going to “give” these books away, but my opening bids and Buy-It-Now prices are usually a fair amount below market value. Furthermore, however, for certain scarce books in great condition, I do expect to get close to what they’re worth. Stay with me; I always have a number of important, collectible, cornerstone science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions listed. Many thanks! All items are being offered for sale elsewhere; I reserve the right to end this listing early if this item sells elsewhere. __________________________________________________________________________________ Note: I own the following two books: Leckie, Anne. ANCILLARY JUSTICE. Subterranean Press, 2014. 1st limited edition. (#2/500). Leckie, Anne. ANCILLARY MERCY. Subterranean Press, 2016. 1st limited edition. (#2/500). I am looking for: Leckie, Anne. ANCILLARY SWORD. Subterranean Press, 2015. 1st limited edition. (#2/500). I would like to round out this set by acquiring the #2/500 copy of ANCILLARY SWORD. If anyone has this copy and is willing to sell it on EBAY, I would be highly interested in obtaining it so that all my copies would have matching numbers. Many thanks. __________________________________________________________________________________ Contact me if you're looking for a particular title or titles.
