Go easy on me, my first post.

George Martins Game of Thrones Book 1 for about $3. Pretty good read. If combined with other items for free shipping thats pretty cheap, but if buying on it's on its about $15 so probably not worth it.

    If anyone is after the first 4 books it's cheaper here http://www.bookdepository.com/Song-Ice-Fire-4v-George-Martin…. I posted it earlier this week but it was deleted on account of the coupon code being a duplicate (BTS2011, not sure if it still works).

    • blinkhme on 08/09/2011 - 20:17

      wow nice find

    • Matador_OZ on 08/09/2011 - 20:22

      thanks code still works

    • Tycn on 08/09/2011 - 20:28

      Where do you put the code?

      I thought it was a bit unfair that my post was deleted just because of that code since the deal itself was pretty good (even without the code).

        I ordered the box set of The Hunger Games from The Book Depository a while ago and all three of the books have a quote on the spine by Stephanie Meyer saying "The Hunger Games is amazing". I can't wait till they put her comments on LotR. Tolkien will be spinning in his grave.

  • stanas on 08/09/2011 - 20:47

    "but if buying on it's on its about $15 so probably not worth it."

    So how is this a bargin? Price is $16.87 with shipping. Guidelines state the shipping should be included in the title.

    • Matador_OZ on 08/09/2011 - 20:51

      the bargain is below

      • stanas on 08/09/2011 - 20:55

        kheob's deal? Yes that is a bargin.

        Hmmmm…… I think i am missing something here with OzBargain - the Bargin within a Bargin.

        Edit: Anyway postive for the first post and the double bargin.

    hehe this has turned out to be a bargain in a bargain. I already got the $3 one for myself, but have passed the book depository one to a couple of friends. Thanks kheob. Also thanks stanas for the info, I wasn't aware of this and will make sure I include next time (plus have now read the terms :))

      I've sorta highjacked your post lol. But thanks for posting as I wouldn't have reposted that deal and people would have missed out on these books.

  • SydStrand on 08/09/2011 - 21:31

    From someone who's read the lot, the first 3 are extremely addictive. Very sneaky for Amazon to price only the first one at $3.

    This series made me change my mind about fantasy novels. Fantastic, dark, addictive - it doesn't pull any punches! Been a fan since the first one, I just hope he starts releasing them a bit quicker

    I just wanted to say these are my favourite books, and if you're even slightly curious - dive right in. They're classed as fantasy, but aren't typically so - think more politics, but in a good way. Then watch the fantastic HBO series.

    I won't read any more long series of novels until after every book in the series has been completed. Sick of reading the first few books and then finding out the next book in the series hasn't been finished yet and it could be years/decades before it's finished.

    • lonewolf on 09/09/2011 - 10:58

      Tell me about it, The last book is covering characters not written about for close to 7 years!!! I mean I last read about some of these characters about 7 years ago! I dont remember didly squat about what happened. Same thing happened with the Robert Jordan books! Too many characters are introduced and hence takes more books plus slower to write. Hopefully George R R Martin speeds it up. Hate the fact that the wheel of time series has now been going on for about 20+ years. Its a god awful long time to be reading one series.

      • SydStrand on 09/09/2011 - 18:53

        GRRM will definitely pull a Robert Jordan (die before finishing). He's A) Fat, B) Old, has diabetes and writes at a snail's pace. Which really sucks, because I can totally imagine him burning his notes to spite all the fans.

        • lonewolf on 10/09/2011 - 11:34

          damn, didnt realise he was that old or had these other ailments. And he is nowhere near finishing judging by the book he just released.

        • Wampus on 11/09/2011 - 00:09

          He's not that fat, he's not that old (just past 60), I'm unaware of whether he has diabetes or not, if he has it's not common knowledge so I'm calling shenanigans.

          He does a lot more than just the Ice and Fire books too. Frustrates me tho.

    • testy8 on 10/09/2011 - 08:43

      i dont think im gonna read past the 3rd or 4th book for this reason. first 2 were great until i realised that it wasn't meandering to any sort of conclusion at all… kinda ruins it.
