About This Item
London: HarperVoyager, 1998. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First edition first printing, 1998. Hardback book is tight clean and square. Boards sharp and clean, title gilt perfect. A touch of bumping to the foot of spine. Text block clean, with moderate toning to edges, slightly more pronounced to top edge as usually found. Previous booksellers pencil price to FEP. Feels lightly read. Slightly shaken to head of spine due to weight of the text block. Near fine condition. Jacket grades fine, nice no issues. For grading accuracy books are photographed without a protective book cover. This book is fitted with a non adhesive archival quality book protector to make a quality addition to your collection. Note we do not use stock images, the book pictured is the book described. A lovely example of this title the second of the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Would make a super addition to a Game Of Thrones collectors shelves
Synopsis
A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, #2) The Seven Kingdoms have fallen asunder, as the sadistic teenager, Joffrey of House Lannister, ascends the Iron Throne following the death of his "father," Robert the Usurper. The Stark family in the North rises to power to combat this ascension, and the empowered Daenerys, the exiled last heir of the former ruling family, seeks a way to return to Westeros and rule it. Meanwhile the Night's Watch, the orphans and criminals who guard Westeros from the barbarians who live beyond the Wall find their numbers dwindling in the face of fantastical forces. Nebula Award Nominee (2000) , Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel (1999)

These books are so fascinating! It's almost like a game of chess. One character moves and another blocks. The stories of each individual are so interesting and the way they interact is unreal. You can't put it down for dying to see what will happen next.
