So sorry for being part of the problem
I received this as a gift from a well intentioned relative, who I think once heard me talking about the ASoIaF books. I therefore feel guilty for having indirectly contributed to the quagmire of largesse and creative bankruptcy GRRM is currently floundering in.
I can't fathom any reason for this "book" to exist aside from filling in the content gap since it's now obvious it will be years until the next actual book is released. Also, stripped of context these quotes reveal Tyrion as not being particularly witty after all.
On the plus side, come Christmas I can re-gift this to a coworker I don't really like so maybe some good will come of it after all.
