Thanks for all the support!

People continue saying money doesn't buy happiness but every single day I find myself disagreeing. In all seriousness, beautiful editions, with a huge attention to detail. I really hope I can afford them in the future for the (inevitable) reread!

You’re wrong. The product is causing the happiness. The fact that you buy it is irrelevant. If you were given it for free you would be even happier. So, money actually reduces the total happiness.

⁠@@anapoda3081 how is that fake happiness? If you're only happy while opening it, it's not for you. Most people who buy are still happy with it while reading it. Happiness doesn't need to be permanent to be relevant. Going out with friends and having fun, it's only for a few hours. So what? Who are you to tell people that they're happiness is fake? I mean liking your own comment seems to make you happy. Work.

I was literally hunched over my keyboard pausing to catch all the details. The doors for the House of Black and White on the cover for FFC - astonishingly beautiful. You're an official book dragon, you have a hoard of precious books!

That's probably my fav cover 🙂

It’s a dead falcon on volume one of AFFC, the moon represents the moon door, the dead falcon is Lysa, the mockingbird is Petyr. This set is incredible, and look amazing covers out for my zoom background. Also, I am so happy they made the chapter headers different for each alias ie. Sansa and Alayne have different chapter headers, Queenmaker and Princess in the tower, Iron Captain and The Reaver etc.

SO BEAUTIFULLL!!!! Fun story: a few years ago I was in a local antique/rare books shop and there were these super awesome volumes of ASOIAF that I'd never seen before. So I touched the box one volume set was in and I slid one of the books out to look at the cover to try to determine what edition it was... and the guy working there came over & was like, "Oh, please don't touch those. We're renovating & these should be behind glass. They're super rare and expensive." They were the signed Subterranean Press editions lol OOPS!

I've only got the first so far cuz it comes out to about 400 bucks in my currency (thanks exchange rate). But without doubt the best books FS have ever done. Though I think mine had been 'pre-loved' (it was a return I guess) because it already had holes in the corner bits where the map folds. Since then in the handful of times I've unfolded and then struggled mightily to figure out how in the heck to refold it, it's torn at all the seams and I've had to resort to cellotape to patch it up.
