Chronicle Books Game of Thrones: A Guide to Westeros and Beyond: The Complete Series(gift for Game of Thrones Fan)

The book had good information and was easy to read. It really help me understand the world of game of thrones better.

I have a bone to pick with Amazon which I will add to the end of this review, but first, the book itself. It is a photographic masterpiece that included more details about the HBO series than I ever expected. Details from family photographs to brief sketches of friendships & relationships to other details like the various crowns worn by the Baratheon-Lannisters to the various weapons used by various characters. There were also details included like brief writings about the various regions influencing culture, religions and politics. This book among several approved by George R.R. Martin lead me to marvel over the imagination of this talented author to have created such a detailed world where it felt very much like historical fiction. This photographic memorial to a great series is a wonder to behold.And now my bone to pick with Amazon itself. Chronicle Books, the publisher of this terrific book, has earned a reputation for producing great quality books (especially for the price range), from the quality of the artwork, the paper used and the quality of it’s binding (as someone who repairs books as a hobby, their endpapers barely leave evidence of mounting [no creases on edges nor corners]). For this reason, Amazon could have, at the very least, handled this book with better care. I received mine damaged at the top & bottom of the spine and every corner of the hardcover (front & back) were curled in. It appeared as if the book was dropped and had no protected wrapping (i.e., bubblewrap) to protect the integrity of this thoughtfully made book. I deserved better as a Prime member!

Excellently bound and printed with pictures of major characters in their finest costumes and in detail information of how every character contributes to the story, this book is a must-have for all the Game of Thrones fans.

Livro super interessante. Ótima compra para a minha coleção de Game of Thrones e das Crônicas de Gelo e Fogo.

Piacerà sicuramente all'appassionato pieno come è di informazioni e impreziosito da splendide fotografie ed illustrazioni tratte dalla serie. Preso come usato in ottimo stato a 13 euro non posso lamentarmi.
