After watching the first two seasons on HBO, I wanted to start reading the books. Noticed that Barnes and Noble had an exclusive edition of A Song of Ice and Fire. I couldn't justify the $50 price tag in store. They have the same edition online for $15.70. If you're a member, you get free shipping. I had a 15% off coupon, which brought it to a little over $14 after tax.
