Rezensionen

"Dice Men: The Origin Story of Games Workshop is something too many of us have been waiting for." - Forbes

"A treasure trove of nostalgia... Ian Livingstone's background with print media (White Dwarf) also shows in abundance. This book is beautifully laid out. You know the moment you see that striking cover, featuring that original Games Workshop image by Ian McCaig, who would go onto illustrate Fighting Fantasy books forever, that you're in for a visual treat - and you are." - Eurogamer

"It's a wonderfully nostalgic piece of work, part memoir, part full-colour scrapbook, told with infectious enthusiasm and delivered with the pacing you would expect from an international best-selling author." - City AM
