IKR??! I always tell people it's like a drug: an expensive but non-destructive drug.

It doesn't have to be expensive! lol

They do say that they lose a lot of value immediately if you open the packaging. In this case, yeah....more so.

My husband says the books no longer exist."
How does that work, then?

He says Martin killed the importance of the [final] books by letting the TV show get ahead of him.


Yeah. but most of the fans now are TV fans - not book fans. And because of such huge differences, the TV will not filter down to the book sales.


But the people who were book fans before the show are still, I would imagine, mostly book fans, and will still buy the books regardless.
So while the TV show might not translate into an increase in book sales, I don't think it'll create a deficit, either.

You probably won't see a big increase in book sales going forward, but a good many of those that came on board after show exposure will remain and will buy the books. Not everyone, sure.
Although you might see a new generation of book readers, as there are people yet to be born that will be waiting anxiously on the final book's publication.

LOL
Meanwhile, I didn't read the books OR watch the show, so I'm safe either way. ;)
