From what i can see it looks excellent, although many are not as i imagined them the art is still very good and the accompaning quotes are good.
Anyone else have this?

Thats an example of the type of art in it.

The Art of A Song of Ice and Fire
I just bought this book from Borders tonight and have looked at it a little.

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.

That is Jaime Lannister though - I'm sure he'd exude confidence no matter what. 
I saw it in Borders and wanted to buy it, but funds are low and I have other books that are higher up the list. The work was very good though, although I didn't like the representations of Dany.

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.
In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.
He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Something about them makes her seem really strange.

Less natural than say the representations of Arianne Martell (which I liked even though I haven't read A Feast for Crows yet) or the Starks.

I own this book. So good, that I cut out some of the artwork and framed them.
I agree re: Daenerys, though. I think the artists were trying to capture that "madness" that lurks in the Targaryans, but they didn't quite succeed, at least not as I see Dany, anyway.

She just seems to lack both the innocence of a child and the confidence of a woman - leaving kinda nothing.

I have it, too.
I didn't like any of the pitcures of Dany, either. Even the one with the dragons... just didn't capture her right.
My favorite picture is Shae. She didn't look how I pictured her, but she has the right look in her eye.
I didn't like the hound. From what I read, he was supposed to be handsome but for the scars on his face. They definitely didn't stay true to that.

I think it was £20 in hardback from Borders.
Not sure how many dollars that it.
www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=nb_ss_gw/1 ... 12&Go.y=14
$19 there.
