 Edit: To purchase the ebook using the Podcast's Amazon referral link, use the following link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PN ... ficanfi-20-------------------------------- http://podcastoficeandfire.com/tower-hand-book/http://winteriscoming.net/2012/09/tower ... -new-book/WOW Congratulations to both of you - I expect great things from you... Is this the cause why queen Mimi can not take part in the podcasts? Does she have to write her part of the book - and in comparison to GRRM does really concentrate on her task? May I ask for a little more information on your essay? And who wrote this: Quote: Tower of the Hand: A Flight of Sorrows takes five of the site’s most prolific authors – including its two founders – and draws out their best, most in-depth work yet. Sorry - did I miss something? No offense, but: When reading that I did surely did think of Mimi and Amin (and also not of Johnny and Alex). The names that come to my mind would be ghostlovesinger and Stefan Sasse. But I understand that publicity and promotion are important. But I would have written "the best-known fans of aSoIaF" - or something like that, it would fit better...

So we aren't one of their previous authors.

I bet Mimi has composed some jaw-dropping prose that flowed from her brain, into her fingertips and into an essay in a painless, effortless manner.
I will definitely order this when it comes out. I'm done with ADWD now, so what the hell else would I have to read?

I am not sure how much info we can reveal on our particular essays yet.
I can say that we'll have a couple of the writers on to guest host sometime after the ebook is released to discuss the essays.

I'm so pleased! Between this news and the Mysterious Interview of Secrecy, it's a pretty cool time to be Manwoody.

I love Tower of the Hand essays and many of them are as near as it gets to the professional level. Glad to see their taking the next big step.

I had a smile on my face as I read the titles of the topics... :B Oh which was that episode when someone said that this was really the podcast of Amin and his sex theories? Hahah. I guess the Heir to the Iron Islands theory is gonna make the transit from audio/digital ink to print. And Mimi, it'll be very interesting to see if you read like you. If Mimi sounds exactly the same on paper as she does via audio... hmm.

I had to laugh out loud when I read Amin's title!!
Question: Were the titles your choice? Or did you receive them from the "editor" (or whoever manages the publication)?

So, does this mean you guys are no longer the pariahs of the Ice and Fire fandom?

I can't seem to find this book to buy online !?!?! I remember reading it would be available on amazon but so far amazon says different (tried searching and got everything but 'Tower of the Hand: A Flight of Sorrows')
Please tell me this book IS available in the uk?!?!?!?

Not up on Amazon yet, they are working on the cover art which is needed before it can go on Amazon.
