      I agree with this review of ADWD. So do about 5,000 others.

    Buy now think later

    Ill just gift it to someone

    Thanks scotty

  • FiDad on 30/12/2015 - 09:38

    I believe this set contains 5 books and season 1 & season 2 of TV series. Had me excited for a moment by mention of 7 books

    • easternculture on 30/12/2015 - 09:40

      The box set includes: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS, 1: STEEL AND SNOW A STORM OF SWORDS, 2: BLOOD AND GOLD A FEAST FOR CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, 1: DREAMS AND DUST A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, 2: AFTER THE FEAST

    • ChillBro on 30/12/2015 - 09:41

      No, I have this exact same set and it's just books.

    • itsMartin on 30/12/2015 - 09:47
      +5

      Two books of the set have been split into two, presumably to make it easier to read (although the cynic in me says its to make more money from people who buy them separately).

      There are still only five books in the series at this stage, but A Storm Of Swords and A Dance With Dragons have two parts each in this set.

      • uggugg on 30/12/2015 - 10:41

        Apparently it was hard to make a paperback that big. Either that or they had to reduce the font size

        • itsMartin on 30/12/2015 - 11:32

          There is a single volume paperback - How the font size compares I am not sure.
          It likely is difficult to make one that big, but I still think they've done it for money :)

  • Emilia on 30/12/2015 - 09:38

    That's an INSANE price. Just bought. Thank you so much OP!

  • dinofreak on 30/12/2015 - 09:38

    think it was meant to save $12

  • TheOneWhoKnocks on 30/12/2015 - 09:40

    Cheers Scotty. Don't typically read books, but at this price and the quality of the TV show I couldn't pass it up.

  • isaw on 30/12/2015 - 09:41

  • ChillBro on 30/12/2015 - 09:41

    How have the nile dealt with pricing errors in the past?

    • [Deactivated] on 30/12/2015 - 09:47
      +4

      That set has a new cover art and a different isbn… maybe they are clearing stock of the old set?

      • easternculture on 30/12/2015 - 09:48

        Maybe they haven't updated the picture on the website

        • ryang on 30/12/2015 - 10:30

          Ah, no. Different ISBN = different product.

          Cannonball87 has hit the nail on the head - they're clearing out the old version. Happy either way!! :)

  • Goldberg on 30/12/2015 - 09:44

    Thanks Scotty. Great post, grabbed two sets for gifts. Hopefully they honour the price :)

  • externalfire on 30/12/2015 - 09:54

    YES! thank you so much. have always wanted these books

  • FabMan on 30/12/2015 - 09:54

    5 books of 7 from the main story line but what about 'The Hedge Knight', 'The Sworn Sword', 'The Mystery Knight', 'The Princess and the Queen, or, the Blacks and the Greens', 'The Rogue Prince, or, a King’s Brother'? All novellas based on that Series by George R. R. Martin.

    Surely a set should include those too!!!

  • Rodo on 30/12/2015 - 09:55

    Bought the box set a couple of months back for about $50 and I thought that was a bargain!

    • McFly on 30/12/2015 - 12:15

        Don't be lazy bro! Get a treadmill in front of the tv

    • Karlos101 on 30/12/2015 - 10:46

      because the books are better than the show - story wise.

      myself, im not a reader, but i will give it to my wife.

    • unelectric on 30/12/2015 - 11:22
      +3

      The show is just the tip of the iceberg of the world that exists in the books. The TV series shows the main plot points in an easily digestible manner, but the books go into incredible detail and a great deal of world building.

      You will know the characters on a much deeper level as you will be able to see their thought processes, because in the books one chapter = a particular character's perspective. Daenerys Targaryen appears somewhat wooden in the show but it is a result of most of her character being inside her mind.

      Also, given the increasing amount of book-show variations it is not as if you are consuming the same plot in different form.

      If you're a fan of the show, reading the books will be one of the best thing you can do for yourself. And if you don't watch the show, read the books anyway!

    • Pacify on 30/12/2015 - 19:04

      The show is fantastic, but its nothing more than a shadow compared to the books

  • Xizor on 30/12/2015 - 09:57

    Stupidly cheap. Don't need them, don't even read books for pleasure. BOUGHT!

  • bgRakia on 30/12/2015 - 10:01

    This is insane… especially if they honour it

  • cypher67 on 30/12/2015 - 10:01

    Shut up and take my money!

  • chinospot on 30/12/2015 - 10:07

    I hate reading books, and i still bought!

  • konholyoh on 30/12/2015 - 10:07

    Too cheap to pass up even though i don't read books.

  • aveeno bb on 30/12/2015 - 10:07

    Buy now think later

  • hyatc on 30/12/2015 - 10:09

    It is hard to resist such a price:'(

    However, I would wait until Martin completes this series of stories.

      You just have to look up history on Ozbargain of ridiculously low prices from The Nile to know that they don't honour pricing errors.

      Example the $7.09 Game of Thrones Season 1 blu-ray orders was cancelled. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/209599
