Publishers Weekly has announced a new book about Dungeons & Dragons, a subject that keeps interesting publishers courtesy of the current ubiquity of 'geek culture'. This time is for Dungeons & Dragons: A Visual History, a book seeing the collaboration of Michael Witwer (author of Empire of Imagination), Jon Peterson (author of Playing At The World), filmmaker Kyle Newman and actor Sam Witwer, brother of Michael. Here is the announcement: "Ten Speed’s Emily Timberlake took world rights to Dungeons & Dragons: A Visual History. Agent Jacques de Spoelberch at JdeS Associates, who brokered the agreement, said the book is the first to explore the 40-plus-year history of the fantasy game. It will offer “a visual archive of one of the most iconic and pervasive gaming franchises in the world,” de Spoelberch explained. The authors, who are consulting with D&D creator Wizards of the Coast, include biographer Michael Witwer, filmmaker Kyle Newman, games historian Jon Peterson, and actor Sam Witwer. The book is due in fall 2018".
