Do they also sometimes split a book into two in your country? (lemmings.world)

I hate it, they translate a book and decide that they want to sell it twice so they split it into two. They did it with every book of A Song of Ice and Fire and yesterday I've discovered they also did it with To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. I hate paying twice for one book.

I think the English language versions of 3/5 ASoIaF books are already split into two anyway. Can't remember if aGoT or CoK are however.

I don't think this is correct, at least for American editions. I've only seen full versions available, in both hardback and paperback

Quick look on Wikipedia and it looks as though the UK, Ireland and Australian versions of SoS got split in two because of length.

Good to know. Too many extra U's when they typed color I suppose
