    Woah, What?

    I just bought two books in Easons for €19.60, Saw no sign of 3 for the price of 2! Is this definitie before I go flying back over to them ?

    Edit: Just saw it online.....

    I'll see if I can bring these back and make use of this offer.

    Cheers OP

    Really good deal alright. Maybe this should be posted in bargain alerts too if it hasn't already?

    Darn, the 9euro delivery to up north took the shine off the bargain :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,881 ✭✭✭Kurtosis


    Does anyone know if the books are 3 for 2 in the bricks and mortar easons as well?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,881 ✭✭✭Kurtosis


    Just to let people know the books are priced at €12.25 or so with 20% off so definitely much better value to buy off the Easons site.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,261 ✭✭✭Shlippery


    Ordered 3 last week with the 3 for 2, then got the next 3 with a 10% coupon they sent me.o3ssM.jpg?2
    Delighted! Still waiting on the last book though, managed to get Dance with Dragons in 1 Volume..shall be a beast when it arrives!

    I'm halfway through the first book..very faithful to the TV show! I'm re-watching it alongside the books to compare!...


  • Registered Users Posts: 138 ✭✭LorraineL


    Just ordered the last three books for under €15.

    I got the 3 for 2 offer and there is 15%off this weekend when you use this code - PA5973A. :D

    Maybe I should have got it in two volumes!


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,406 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Balls :mad: I'm a moron, got the books in the post, before I even realised it I had read the first 4 or 5 words of the blurb on Storm of Swords part 2:
    Though Robb Stark is now king of the North....
    *procedes to bang head against brick wall*


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,261 ✭✭✭Shlippery


    I've been afraid to look at the back of any of the books for fear of whatever it is that might lie behind your spoiler text!


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,406 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Read the first hundred pages of A Game of Thrones today. Its fleshing everything out nicely so far, highly recommend reading it after you've watched season 1! Will be tough to resist reading storm of swords until after season 3 airs I have to say.

    Colour me confused. Won't you know this having watched series 1 or have you not done so yet?

    No, I took it to mean he's "officially"
    king of the north
    by that point of book 3. So far in the show he's only
    king of the north in the eyes of the northerners, he won't really be king of the north until he's recognised as such by the king in kings landing I thought? And in that case he comes out of the battle at the end of season 2 pretty well and doesn't get killed
    :)

    Do you want me to answer that? Best not I think.

    No, sure don't, that gives me hope that I didn't ruin much on myself at all :D

    Some really big changes happen in A Storm Of Swords, so it will boil down to whether you want to wait to see them happen onscreen or see them in your imagination sooner.

    ASOS Is probably, imho anyway, the best book (or two books if you bought it as parts one and two :)) in the series, although will have to see what the final two books (or even three if some of GRRM's comments come true) bring.

    For those thinking of buying the books, Amazon.co.uk will be selling the 7 book set (Volumes 1-5) from July 12th and it is available for £29.99 on pre order and has free P&P to Ireland.


    Their prices on the books individually right now are pretty good as well as the range from £3.86 to £5.89 on paperback.


    Any Amazon.co.uk order over £25 gets free p&P to Ireland.
