Whew, what a behemoth of a book! It was beautifully illustrated though, and interesting. Martin quickly breezes through the history of the Seven Kingdoms in a sort of Cliffs Notes style. A page or two on each Targaryen king (it's hard to keep all those Aegons straight...), some information about each of the major houses and their castles and lands, which was fun. He also included information about areas beyond Westeros: Slavers' Bay, etc. If you're still dying for more information about the people who inhabit Martin's world of Ice and Fire after reading the five books he's published so far (seriously, when is book six going to be out?! I'm dying over here) this was a good "tide you over" book.
