02.05.13 | Joshua Farrington - The BooksellerThe book was announced at HarperCollins' showcase of autumn titles to retailers, held on Wednesday evening (1st May).
The hardback title will gather together "clever and naughty quips" from the popular character from A Song of Ice and Fire series, played in the HBO series by actor Peter Dinklage.
HarperCollins described it as "the perfect Christmas gift", quoting Tyrion: "My mind is my weapon. My brother has his sword, and I have my mind; and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge."
Fans are currently awaiting the next instalment in Martin's epic A Song of Ice and Fire series, which has so far stretched to five novels split into seven volumes. The books follow hundreds of characters and the struggle for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and has been adapted into an award-winning TV series by HBO.
Other books announced at the HC retailer showcase include new cookbooks from Lorraine Pascale and Nigel Slater, and Max Hastings' account of the beginning of the First World War, Catastrophe: Europe Goes to War 1914.
Retailers were also told of new projects from David Walliams, including a new novel in autumn, a box set of his books, and his first ever picture book for younger readers.
Celebrity titles will come from entertainers including Johnny Vegas, Chris Evans and John Bishop. HarperCollins will also be publishing the autobiography of 100m sprint world record holder Usain Bolt, titled Catch Me If You Can.
