Had you seen all the HBO loot?: [HBO Shop](http://store.hbo.com/?pagemax=all&v=hbo_shows_game-of-thrones) Nice that they’re selling the books, but for crying out loud, why is Game of Thrones twice the price of the other three? Dance With Dragons is understandable, as it’s a hardcover, but this just seems like they’re charging more because it’s the volume the current season is based on. ---

speaking of shopping… does anyone know a map, or even a downloadable map that could be broken over pages when printed… the poster hey have is 11"x14" which is a tad on the wee side for my purposes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-of-thrones-lord-snow-5-1-11/580390.md?page=6)
