Most of you will chalk this up for a gag or joke or something of that nature. I assure you that it is not. This is the forum with the most traffic, so I decided to post it here first.
Due to the recent change in art for AFFC shown on Amazon.com, one of my first questions for George at Boksone (on the way to a hobby store to look at toy Knights) was about the new cover art. He stated that it was an attempt to bring new readers into the fold, much like the original Game of Thrones cover.
He also stated that all of he other books would be rereleased with that type of cover, including Hardcover editions. (Big news for collectors)
He ALSO stated, quite definitively, that 'A Feast For Crows' would be released this summer.
This wasn't an estimate. this wasn't 'Don't even ask.' This was, AFFC will be coming out in the summer.
