About 300,000 hardcover copies of the new book are being released on Tuesday in the United States and Canada, a staggering number for a book that has more than 750 pages and doesn’t have “J.K. Rowling” on the cover. About 2.5 million copies of the first three books are in print here and Canada, and they’ve been translated into 24 languages.But the raw numbers don’t quite capture the passion Martin fans are feeling. I read the first three books — “A Game of Thrones,” “A Clash of Kings” and “A Storm of Swords” — and I yearned to read Martin’s fourth book more than any other this year.
