Drace (dracenines) | 7945 comments A new ACE of the US mass market paperback edition of A Game of Thrones (ISBN 9780553573404) has been published, and the ISBN needs to be moved off of the older edition and onto the new ACE. Information to create the ACE is as follows:

TITLE: A Game of Thrones
AUTHOR: George R.R. Martin
ISBN-10: 0553573403
ISBN-13: 9780553573404
ASIN: 0553573403
PUBLISHER: Bantam Books
DATE PUBLISHED: The copyright page says this edition was first published May 2025.
NUMBER OF PAGES: 835
FORMAT: Mass Market Paperback
DESCRIPTION [transcribed from the back cover]:

In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

EDITION LANGUAGE: English
COVER ART: Originally I posted my own scan of the book cover here because the publisher site had not uploaded with the correct art, but it is available now. Cover art link: https://images3.penguinrandomhouse.co... // https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/bo...

You need to either find a book page showing the cover you want and the ISBN or post the printing information page.

The only page is found with the cover you want correspond to another ISBN that is already on GR: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

That is a different edition with differently-proportioned cover art. The one you linked is the trade paperback edition. This thread is to create an ACE for the mass market paperback edition.

If the photo I already linked in my OP of the back cover with the ISBN will not suffice, here are photos of the front cover, the back cover with ISBN, and the copyright page: https://imgur.com/a/FW3TI5u

Drace (dracenines) | 7945 comments Another bump. A new ACE for a more recent edition with the ISBN 9780553573404 seems to have been created, but it still isn't the newest edition. The ACE creation outlined in the OP of this thread still needs to be done.
