Before modification by Werthead at 07/03/2012 02:00:43 PM
A while back a listing for a book called 'MAPS OF ICE AND FIRE' appeared on the Bantam website for release on 30 October 2012. George R.R. Martin has now revealed that the book will be a collection of new and more detailed maps of the ASoIaF world, including the first canon 'known world map' extending east to Asshai and the Jade Sea. The artist or artists for the book has not yet been revealed.
He was commenting on a new speculative map created by a fan, linked below.
UPDATE: Some more info on the map 'book' has come to light. It will actually be called THE LANDS OF ICE AND FIRE and will consist of a boxed set containing poster maps of Westeros and Essos, including a 'known world map' that stretches to Asshai and Yi Ti. There will also be some city maps included. Apparently some of the maps may be historical, showing fallen kingdoms and lands (Valyria?). A lot of the material will not have been seen previously.
