Apple today launched an "Enhanced Edition" for A Game of Thrones [Direct Link], the first book in George R.R. Martin's fantasy ****** A Song of Ice and Fire (via The Guardian). The new digital Edition marks the 20th anniversary of the release of the **vel, and its four subsequently published sequels are also coming soon in the new remade format: A Clash of Kings (October 27), A Storm of Swords (December 15), A Feast for Crows (February 2), and A Dance with Dragons (March 30).
The Enhanced editions offer interactive maps, author **tes from Martin, glossaries, family trees, and illustrations that "add to the adventure, whether you're new to the books or speak fluent Dothraki." For fans still waiting for the sixth book in the ******, The Winds of Winter, each Enhanced Edition comes with an excerpt from the upcoming **vel that was previously published on Martin's website.
?We?re **w entering a new period in the history of publishing,? said Martin, an**uncing the new edition. ?The digital book gives readers the ability to experience all this rich secondary material that had **t been possible before. These Enhanced editions, available only on iBooks, include sigils and family trees and glossaries. Anything that confuses you, anything you want to k**w more about, it?s right there at your fingertips. It?s an amazing next step in the world of books.?
In a video on the iBooks page for the new collection, Martin calls his partnership with Apple "an amazing next step in the world of books," thanks to the interactivity infused in each Edition that can help explain the sometimes overwhelming nature of his **vels. Fans interested can purchase A Game of Thrones for $8.99 today [Direct Link], and pre-order the other four books for $11.99 each.
