Spreading curiosity about our books amongst retailers is something very important to us💡 📖 Today the DK team joined 20 booksellers from around the UK in a very special Warhammer 101 session with Games Workshop Ltd, as our first ever Warhammer book publishes today. We also went behind the scenes with author Gav Thorpe and editor David Fentiman, and even got to have a go at painting & gameplay! Warhammer 40,000 The Ultimate Guide: https://lnkd.in/eN67Jcdn
