So I ran across this little gem this week. After looking on both Amazon and Ebay neither has sold a copy of this book.

Facebook people told me it was a staff book and from reading the contents over quickly that seems to make sense. However there is no information on print run, year or the manufacturer of it.

I have it on ebay right now at $249.99 OBO , but it will go to one penny auction soon and then we shall find out just what it is worth. https://www.ebay.com/itm/A-Games-Workshop-Primer-STAFF-BOOK-super-rare-Warhammer-Fantasy-40k/282974376561?hash=item41e2965271:g:FOQAAOSwSw5a-GKL

We need to document this item, so i am asking all of you, what you know about it, then when the auction is over i will post the selling price. Once i collected all the info it will be good research for others on the steemit platform, and i will add it to my own website.

I would like to find out:

 Year (it looks to be 2005)
 Publisher ( still unknown)
 Print run ( best guess so far was 1000-2000 made) it was a guess from a Games Workshop Person who actually handed them out for finishing a class

From what i have been told it was never a for sale book, they made some and gave them to employee's so i am assuming this is one on the most rare Games Workshop books out there.

I'm praying on a Games Workshop employee to write me on it. :)

I doubt there will be much comments on this short term, but i think in the long run it will really prove useful.

A Facebook user said this:

Maciej Król Hahaha! It's called a Red Book. It's a set of so called muses and graces - rules how GW staff has to behave. It replaced a Black Book, and later was replaced by another Black Book again. It used to be given to GW staff after a special training in the company. It's not related to either Warhammer or 40k (Black Books have GW logo instead a hammer and shield).
I still have it somewhere (and later edition as well).

Another facebook user said.

Tim Fisher I have the red book. It was doing the rounds via HQ for managers circa 2005 onwards I believe.
Publisher isn’t mentioned but I imagine it was the same as the Infantry Primer.
They usually get pulled from EBay or at least they did a while back.

Mark McKellar I have a couple of this, and 2 different versions of the black book

John Geer 2 red ones?

Mark McKellar John Geer I had a stack of them at one point (I was the one giving them to my store managers)

John Geer sounds like you worked at HQ on the east coast?

Mark McKellar First in Canada (West coast) Then Glen Burnie

John Geer would you have a guess on print run?

John Geer it can be very vague

Mark McKellar I think your 2000 guestimate is probably close.
now I have to find them, I know 2 of my black books are signed by Tom

John Geer nice added value.

@therealwolf 's created platform smartsteem scammed my post this morning (mothersday) that was supposed to be for an Abused Childrens Charity. Dude literally stole from abused children that don't have mothers ... on mothersday.

And the reason why is because @therealwolf is disgusting slimy pedophile that enjoys abusing kids. Here's proof of him upvoting child porn on the steemit blockchain. bigbadwolf indeed.
