This spectacular collector’s edition includes a lavishly illustrated book on the making of the show, scrolled maps, plus an artist’s portfolio featuring never-before-seen storyboards, all housed in a handsome gold-stamped case.
The book reveals how the best-selling fantasy series was translated into a series that has captivated millions of viewers. It includes hundreds of unpublished set photos, production and costume designs, plus family trees, a dissection of the Dothraki language, and histories of the realms. Interviews with actors and crew members, as well as a foreword by George R.R. Martin, make this an exclusive window into the show.
The storyboards portfolio shows how comic book artist Will Simpson singlehandedly storyboarded seasons one and two and features deleted scenes and alternate scenes. Storyboards are seldom made public, so this collection is as rare as it is fascinating.
Completing the package are maps of Westeros and Esos. Fans will recognize the maps from the HBO Go bonus material for Season 2. Printed on archival, acid-free paper, and ready for framing, these maps bring the world of Game of Thrones to life.

be a Lannister is to be proud of the Lannister lineage and their place in society. Tywin believes that his right to rule his bit of the Seven Kingdoms is, like that of so many rulers, divine. LENA HEADEY (Cersei Lannister): The Starks are “honorable” and “admirable.” The Lannisters are survivors. If they have to play a sneaky hand, they do, and they don’t see anything wrong with that. PETER DINKLAGE (Tyrion Lannister): The Lannisters are all very good at what they do, but it seems that all the
believe he has a very good heart. And, of course, with the intelligence comes a great sense of humor. It has helped him survive. He embraces who he is, makes fun of himself before you are given a chance to—beating you at your own game. The smartest people I know are also the funniest. He is that. D. B. WEISS: Tyrion is so many people’s favorite character, in the show and the books. He makes people laugh, and that is certainly part of it, but I think it’s also because he has the most modern
locations in Dubrovnik, Croatia, which were retrofitted by the design team. EMILIA CLARKE (Daenerys Targaryen): In season two, when Dany finds herself in Qarth, it’s almost like she’s in King’s Landing. It’s a more political world, which she’s not used to. She’s gone from having this epic change and this fast-paced adventure, and she’s essentially thrown into a waiting room. She’s very frustrated. She has these creatures, these dragons, but they’re not grown yet, and her journey has stalled. I

I tried to imagine what it would be like to be a Roman legionary stationed on that wall, someone from Italy or Africa; they had soldiers from all over the world at that point. You’re standing there, essentially at the end of the world, and you could see hills and forests beyond. What enemy is going to come out of those woods? What is going to emerge and attack you from
effects guys had to create all the snow. It took about three days total—none of it easy, but all of it satisfying. WILL SIMPSON: What I love about that prologue is you start with this crazy sequence basically a horror movie, and then you don’t see the Walkers again for the whole season! But it’s always, as a viewer, in the back of your mind, just as it is for the guys on the Wall. On location in Tollymore Forest. The White Walkers are ready for “action.” A grisly discovery
