Game of Thrones Leather Boxed Set Unboxing and Review | GeekGlitz

The books don't deviate from the show. The show deviates from the books.

[@kevinthunder3375]

To be fair, they ran out of books.

[@matts9800]

@@kevinthunder3375 They didn't run out. They decided not to adapt a lot of book 4 and 5.

[@kevinthunder3375]

@@matts9800 yes, they cut out the Dornish plot and some other plot threads, but they only had 10 episodes, at most, per season, and they had only 1 season to tell each book. Martin promised he would finish the series before the show caught up to him. That didn't happen.

[@matts9800]

@@kevinthunder3375 they spoiled TWOW material 9 episodes into season 5, so they didn't even spend a full season adapting 2 entire books the way they did for book 3. They had no respect for the source material outside of the first book and wanting to shock with the Red Wedding. They never understood the lore, the magic, or the "themes" because they're for "eighth grade book reports". Turning the Faith Militant into extremist homophobes & having the Tyrells arrested because a SQUIRE knows a birth mark was ludicrous insanity. Very convenient to dodge the class implications of the Faith Militant because two spoiled nepotism rich boys can't handle what it says about the highborn and privileged. The small folk's role also negated.

My daughter bought my this set of books for Christmas and I am almost done with the first book. So far it's really good. The books are way better than the television show

[@Brandnewarthur]

Those GoT books looks like a Bible

[@darkly_dan]

My thoughts exactly. Which as she said the pages are a bit more fragile. So Idk if this would be something id actually buy for reading or just for a collectors item.

Ikr!!!!

[@vidiaparamaatmaseeker2130]

Was just going to say ... lol.

[@cajuncoonass5053]

I bought one through Barnes and Noble and it's very bible like. Small print, delicate, and thin paper

[@joebiancofiori9225]

Fits the time period I guess

[@acrazysheepdog1555]

I like how it start off at an ice blue color, and it begins to turn to a different color, until finally there’s ADWD, which is red, A Song Of Ice And Fire indeed...

There's more red and less blue for each book, gradually transitioning from ice to fire.

I‘ll upgrade when the full series is available... in like 2032.

@@azoz273 Well, what can I say, I am an optimist

[@itskarl7575]

I'm surprised to see this set being sold cheaper than paperback sets these days. Maybe retailers are afraid they won't be able to sell them once Winds of Winter is out. Also, there are more and more amazing looking deluxe editions out there. The one from Folio Society is so beautiful I don't even want it - I feel like they should belong to someone who is much more of a fan than I. But I am very partial to soft-leather bound pocket editions, such as these. Small fonts don't bother me.

[@kikibee9185]

I got this set for exactly the same reason as you. The look is fabulous on my bookshelf I have the regular paperback set so I can read while I’m waiting for the show to begin again.

[@GeekGlitz]

Niceee!!! It's such a beautiful set!! I still haven't started reading the books, but I need to get cracking on it soon 😉🙌

[@Morgan041097]

I’m gonna start the series soon and I love the look of these. I just don’t know if these are gonna hold up when I read them. I don’t mind a little wear and tear. I could buy the normal paper backs but I just really love these and don’t care for the look of the others.

[@azoz273]

Before you buy it, you have to know this. I bought it myself. Absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking and beautiful and soft and colorful from the outside... but from the inside the font size is too small to read comfortably. I gave it a chance thinking after a while I might get used to it but no... very uncomfortable to read. Plus, it doesn't feature the preview chapters from the next books. Then I decided to buy the normal paperback edition (the font of which isn't that big either, but definitely better than the leather bound). The biggest font you'll find to read comfortably is the hardcover but might not be that portable given its size and weight. Bottom line is, this set is good for display and collection maybe... but not comfortable for reading!

[@nicmcphersonvb2231]

I disagree. I bought this box set and I was disappointed by the font size at first but once you get at least halfway through the first book the font size isn’t an issue (for me at least’

[@AnonYmous-jz5mx]

NN maybe you need reading glasses. Just a thought. I had no problem with the font size at all.

[@Gasoline85]

​@@nicmcphersonvb2231I agree. I have no problem reading these but it may be because I A) wear glasses, and B) am more or less used to reading small-print books by this point.

[@armandoisai]

Hi, can you please tell how did the books aged? It’s because I bought the lord of the rings on a similar edition but they didn’t aged well, the covers cracked.

[@patp3587]

you did a good job of showing what you promised and not being dramatic or click baity. You also had good b roll if your interested in previewing before your purchase, well done.

[@GeekGlitz]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback 😀

[@kiribakubabe5425]

So they made it like JRR Tolkien. Lol it’s awesome.

[@InnateNobility]

I wish this set included more of the books, but it is a lovely collection. I think I'll buy this as my introduction to the series, then grab the normal-sized books later. It's a good price for a starter set.

[@scottallison172]

Dude. You can literally get the first book for £3 in old bookstores. Don't buy something this expensive if you haven't tried it yet. I've learned that from experience.

[@Victor_de_Aguilar]

I like this set, I'm thinking of buying it but I read in a comment that it lacks content compared to the normal editions. can anyone confirm that for me?

[@ericw4377]

I heard that there are pages missing in Storm of Swords of this set, between pages 275 and 306 - every other two pages, so 276 - 277 are blank, as are pages 280 - 281, then 284 - 285, etc. Not sure if that is still the case?

[@GeekGlitz]

The set I have seems to be ok. I checked Storm of Swords and those pages were all there.

[@babbisp1]

4:56 Can you please tell me how heavy this (Dance with dragons) is? Literally, in terms of weight.

[@Hahaa99]

I had this version The text is too small for me ( including the map ) and they are only good aesthetically. I resold them and bought the hardcover version Now i m happy 😃

[@tristandavis8877]

I tried refunding them the book store said I can’t so I’m trying to sell them now and if I can I’m buying the paperback edition

[@CoDeMaSter08]

Can you share the link to that version? I don’t like small letters

[@greenfelow]

Do you know if they will have leather bound for 6 and 7 when they come out

[@drebodollaz3504]

Which would you recommend. This or the paperback box set?

[@dhavaldesai6202]

If you can get then go for paperback edition not the mass market edition.

[@voldy3565]

Neither, get the hardbacks.

[@utbut6805]

I just bought these for my die hard GOT boyfriend and am a little anxious after seeing so many mixed reviews. I saw some comments on how some felt flimsy and how the spine dis attached on some. So far, how did these hold up? Ugh, I hope mine come perfect.

[@GeekGlitz]

Hi! Thanks for your comment! So far mine have been holding up fine, but I try to hold it very carefully. Even though the pages are thin, it's been ok when I've turned the pages. No papers falling out or anything. I think it should be fine!! Hope your bf loves it too! It's definitely a great present to get a GOT fan 😀😉

[@prototypep4]

If you're committed to him long term and he's a true die hard fan (and can look after them) maybe look at the leatherbound slipcased editions from Harper Voyager. They're bound in red leather and each book is embossed with a map of different areas in gold foil as well as gold gilding on the edges. The absolute best set available. The book is also stitched not just glued so it will hold up for much longer.

[@triforce_majora]

P3 Gaming these ones are stitched as well (I know this video was a while ago but I just received these books today from Amazon); I checked at the center of one of the page signatures to see.

[@slifer9990]

Serieus question. What if the next book comes out. How will you display it esthetically on the shelf with a box that's now to small?

[@NBKVamp]

slifer 9990 right

[@GeekGlitz]

Lol good question! If they don't make a similar sized one, I'll just get the standard sized one which I would lay flat and put this set above it 😉

Beautiful box set. Very much like the Tolkien Deluxe Pocket Boxed Set, though the covers on that is some sort of vinyl and not leather cloth like here. My copy of this is on its way, and I'm really excited about it. :)

[@Gasoline85]

@@karimm2 Sorry for the late reply. Overall, I think they're fine! Though I'm not sold on the covers being actual leather. But they're not uncomfortable to hold, in any case. The pages are really thin, so if that's not your thing be aware.

[@forest3064]

@ONI What a classic response, and a strawman argument it seems, now that my friend would violate copyright. The series called "A Song of Ice and Fire", the first book is called "A Game of Thrones" the HBO series is called "Game of Thrones". See where I am going with this? Maybe you just don't understand, I won't bore you with an explanation, or perhaps you do understand but find pleasure in attacking me with a strawman argument. Reply with a valid statement, or don't reply at all!

[@forest3064]

Your statement was a strawman argument in the sense that you suggested I "make my own product and call it what I like", this had no relevance to the comment i made, so it would be classed as a strawman response, and rather silly in my opinion. Also if one interpreted your comments as relating to A Song of Ice and Fire, then if I were to make my own product involving them it would violate copyright of both Bantam and Harper (publishers of A Song of Ice and Fire), as i do not have rights to sell a product i have not acquired the rights to sell and profit from. It is not an attack, just pointing out that they COULD have named the "leather book set" differently, to make it more relevant, I would liked to have seen George R.R. Martin's views on this, maybe he didn't have a say in the product's naming, maybe he didn't know about it, maybe the publishers were confused (very unlikely, but we all make mistakes). A good day to you too1
