[SFCC] Deeper Than Swords // RE: SFCC Digest, Vol 6, Issue 1

[LeslieKay Swigart]

Yaaaayyy Cait and TAMU!

This is fabulous.  George has been getting so much attention in the last year or so because of HBO's _Game of Thrones_ series and _A Dance with Dragons_ being on the bestseller lists forever, but your collection of GRRM-iana has *so* much more that it should be a wonderful exhibit.  

Do you have the board games for ASoI&F?  In multiple languages?  They would certainly be an attention-grabber.  I know you've got lots of foreign language editions with colorful covers . . . I can always tell _Tuf Voyaging_ or _Fevre Dream_ just from the cover, even if the title is in a non-Roman type!

Unfortunately, links to your "teaser" poster were scrubbed by the SFCC Digest . . . <sniff!>

Your forthcoming catalog will definitely be added to my growing bibliographic pile of GRRM-iana . . . which will be turned in to the Compleat (as is humanly possible) GRRM Primary and Secondary Bibliography just as soon as I finish my !@#$%^&*()_+=-~!!! dissertation (my mom always used to say I "bit off more than I could chew" and boy was she right!).

Good luck and have lots of fun with the exhibit which I'd love to visit (we'll see),

Leslie Kay

Hi all,

Next year we're going to have a major exhibit, Deeper Than Swords: Celebrating the Work of George R. R. Martin, here at Cushing. Martin will be there for the opening and doing a talk, Q&A, and book signing. We're still in planning stages but expect to have a related catalog as well. Attached is the teaser poster my colleague Todd Samuelson made for display at the student-run AggieCon, held every year at Texas A&M.

We'll likely do more press releases and such as we come closer to the actual date, but I wanted to share this because it's just so pretty. :)

Cheers,
Cait
