So, amazon.de, the German wing of the everything-selling giant, done messed up. Several posters on the westeros forums reported that their copies of A Dance with Dragons<\/strong>, the heavily anticipated (and even more heavily embargoed) fifth volume of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire<\/em>, was shipping out early. Martin’s publisher, Bantam Spectra, jumped on amazon.de and corrected the mistake, but not before a handful of copies were actually shipped out to readers.<\/p>\n
