Summary: Inspired by the Emmy® Award–winning credits sequence that opens each episode of the hit HBO® series, Game of Thrones: A Pop-Up Guide to Westeros is guaranteed to thrill the show’s legions of fans.
Featuring stunning pop-up recreations of several key locations from the series, including the formidable castle of Winterfell, the lavish capital city King’s Landing, and the Wall’s stark majesty, this book—designed by renowned paper engineer Matthew Reinhart—takes you into the world of the series like never before.

The book also contains numerous mini-pops that bring to life iconic elements of the show, such as direwolves, White Walkers, giants, and dragons.

Review: I saw this book awhile ago in the store but I didn't want to spend $80.00 on it, and then I happen to get a lovely post on facebook that at our big name bookstore it was on for half off so I jumped on that. This book was amazing and I'm glad I bought it. It really gave me a perspective on what Westeros looks like. All I kept imagining was how much work must have went into this book. I love how it also gave information on each page, and that didn't distract from the beautiful pop-ups.
This book is a must for any fan of Game of Thrones. It is such an amazing addition to anyone's collection or library.
