Print was way too small.

Returned item, Impossible to read. What more is their to say! Full disclosure should have been made. Turtleback School & Library Binding edition seemed to indicate a larger format.

I ordered a hardcover book and received what is called a school binding which is actually a paperback book with a hard cover added. Most likely from perfection Press. I do not want this book. I ordered and paid for a hard cover book---I thought I would receive a regular sized normal edition. I would like a pick up issued and a credit for the cost of the book or exchanged for a legitimate hardcover copy

was very disappointed in the binding

the binding looks very cheap and wasn't at all what I expected. You're better off spending a few extra dollars and getting a nicer paperback or actual hardcover

good book. If you watch the show, then these are the books to read ahead of the show. Different show if you read the books!

Game of Thrones

George RR Martin writes a story you don't want to put down. I got turned on to this from the HBO series, but the book as always is much better.

That being said it has a good binding and hard covers

When I read it was the library edition, I foolishly assumed it was a full sized hardcover. Instead it is hardly bigger in width than a paperback.That being said it has a good binding and hard covers. The print was a little smaller than I had hoped, but was readable without the 2X reading glasses I often wear. Another plus is that is more portable than a full size book. Considering the price I feel I got a good value.

great book

I bought it to improve my english. I'm happy to see that I can easily understand the story. This way I'll have a different point of view than the one from the series.
