Richard's passing coincides with the release of a book by Shaggy Dog Publishing, The Stuff of Legends: Fantasy Miniatures from the Golden Age, Volume I, filled with color photos from his collection. Richard and Citadel's Alan Merrett provide commentary, with a foreword by Rick Priestley. The book is available now through Warlord Games. Shaggy Dog previously published Talking Miniatures by Robin Dews and John Stallard, a two-volume history of Citadel and Games Workshop.
