That was back in the dark ages of internet book selling, when Amazon, B&N, Borders and everyone else were climbing over each other's bodies to be the "first" to have each big title. So the truth may be that B&N put up pre-order info that had no relation to anything Martin or Bantam Spectra actually told them. Martin's website (again, back in the dark ages, when he had a sub page specifically to answer the "When is the next book going to be finished?" question) essentially said as much. That said, Martin's website was a constant cock tease for years- stuff like, "I'm about half finished, so I expect it to be out by the end of the year." Then in March, "Well, it's going slower than expected, but I'm mostly done, so it should be finished by fall." Then at Christmas, "I'm about three-quarters of the way there, so hopefully by spring." And so on...
It was marsupialed, it did nothing to endear him to readers, and it just ratcheted up the pressure on him, which clearly doesn't speed his writing process up any. I can't believe he hasn't learned by now to just tell people to screw off and that the book will get done whenever the hell he feels like it, if ever.

Not going to happen.
The publishers and his agents would have made an ironclad agreement that the show cannot reveal any aspect of the story not yet in the books. They have their property to protect and there's no way they'd piss that away for a few million dollars in royalty/rights cheques.
Also doubt Martin would piss off his core fans.
He's ******* with your heads.

Not sure I agree with that... They've already all but said they are going ahead without him. And I doubt HBO would have optioned a series they couldn't have finished--seems exceptionally risky, even for them.
I doubt it's a simple contract but why would bantam and Martin piss away their golden egg for a TV show? The show's important as it bringing more interest to the books, but that means there's even more reason to protect the publishing. How many fewer books would be sold if they show revealed the ending before the books. How pissed off would the readers be?
Sure the producers may know some broad outlines but my guess is that they can only move forward if martin is dead or incapacitated. Even so, there would be massive lawsuits to prevent the show from revealing anything.
The books have sold millions of copies. That's real money. They will protect it.

I'm not in publishing, so I don't know the economics exactly, but I bet the royalties from the tv series dwarf what they're making selling the books.
