Game of Thrones might have gone out with more of a whimper than a bang (at least if all of your tweets are to be believed) but hey, we’ll always have those early seasons – and, most of all, George R.R. Martin’s book’s. And that’s where our friends at The Folio Society come in, as the creators of those handsome volumes of classic books, newly illustrated and insightfully re-introduced, have launched their reissues of the original Martin works, starting with A Game of Thrones, out this week.
And best of all, we were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at Jonathan Burton’s gorgeous new illustrations. Here are a few of our favorites.
