It looks great Martin, congratulations! I have to say though that the first thing that "popped" to my mind was that this was going to be a pop-up book, I think I was thinking about the Guide To Westeros, but it doesn't look like a pop-up book.:D

HBO has done a pop-up book.

It's great, but it's based on the TV series, not the book.

Huge fun, though. Snag a copy.

Is there a plan for an audiobook? I know the question may pain you after the description of the art in the hardcover.

Yes, there will be an audiobook. Roy Dotrice will read.

Of course, there's no way to "read" the artwork, so the audio version will just be the text.

I did have the chance to see at THE WORLD OF ICE & FIRE at the booth: very exciting, looking forward to the release!

This book intrigues me, as an artifact of writing technique. At this time, after Dance With Dragons, the World book is 100% complete; conceived and now written. But at the time of the other books, what would you say were the percentage of contribution to the World book conception? When a Game of Thrones was being written, what percentage of the World book was conceived (if not perfected, written and revised to a final form)? What percentage of this book was conceived by the end of Game? Same question with Clash, Storm, and Feast? Also, how much was conceived only because Elio Garcia and Linda Antonsson (or others) asked questions? Did all of this flow from you or was there a kind of growth from answering fan’s questions, for example? (How much of this input would you say is part of this book?) Does the history detailed in this book act as a genesis for the characters of ASoIaF or as their exegesis ( ... )
