I just received this set from an auction. It was new and factory sealed at a substantially discounted price. The only thing that may have kept it off a big store bookshelf, if even worth mentioning, was that one book was placed upside-down. The book case is the same material that was used for the book covers, which is a textured man-made material. Although the description says leather-cloth, It feels a bit like a textured rubber over a flexible, pressed-paper binding. The books measure roughly 6 1/8th x 4 1/2" or 15.5 x 12 cm. The outside cover and spine are embossed with the title surrounded by a scrolled border and the G.R.R.M author icon shown in the images, The inside cover says it is a 2015 Special Boxed Bantam Edition. Inside the pages feel pretty thin, but the print is clear and dark. Artwork is included of two maps of the North and South realms before the first chapter and close up maps of each realm scattered throughout the books. Each chapter has a nice scroll design on the top of the pages. Apart from the title headings, the rest of the print is pretty small coming in at around 3/32" or about 2mm which is to be expected for content this large in books this size; I'll be using my glasses. At the back of the books are an appendix, an acknowledgements page and a page about the author. It's a nice set to have on a shelf for a reasonable price that won't take up too much room.Read full review

These are great books with great stories!! The problem is the PRINT is way to small . I couldn't get passed the first page because my eyes began to cross from trying to read the VERY SMALL print!! The books covers we very unique and cool great for someone who is just looking to show them off AWFUL for someone who just wants to read them

I was very satisfied with my purchase! The books are exactly like in the picture. I knew ahead of time that the books were small, yet I was still surprised by the size. Measurements should be available but just as a visual, they are about or an inch taller (in length) as an iPhone 6 Plus. My first thought is that they kind of look like bibles :P but overall still love the details in the books. With that said, writing is small too. The pages are not as thick as I would like them to be, but they are fitting to the size of book. Can't wait to finish series!!!!!! :)

The books are kind of small like small bibles. Though small, they actually feel good in the hands as you read. The covers are soft to touch and make for an easy read. The collection of books look good together and dont take up too much space. I would recommend if you are a fan of the series. I have seen all episodes on HBO. I have just started reading first book and the show really does follow the books quite well. Highly recommend this set. Enjoy.
