Michael Witwer wrote Empire of Imagination: Gary Gygax and the Birth of Dungeons & Dragons and became a Hugo-nominated author with Dungeons & Dragons: Art and Arcana, a visual history of the game.
Now, with a due date in August, Michael is back writing D&D books with The Book of Dragons.
The Book of Dragons will be published by DK, reach over 200 pages, and Amazon describes it:
Delve into the awe-inspiring world of dragons, lavishly illustrated with newly commissioned artworks and penned from the perspectives of Tiamat and Bahamut, the mighty dragon gods themselves.
This definitive guide unveils the rich lore, diverse types, and legendary characters of the dragon realm. Essential for every D&D fan, it offers unparalleled insights into these iconic creatures that for decades have been the heart and soul of the game. Elevate your campaigns and deepen your knowledge–discover why The Book of Dragons is a must-have for every adventurer’s collection.
However, the page samples focus on anatomy, profile, and personality traits and seem to be stat-less, suggesting that the book can be used as a system-agnostic resource. The Book of Dragons does, though, seem to follow D&D’s notion of chromatic, metallic and gem dragons.

Previously, Witwer contributed to the highly rated Heroes’ Feast: The Official D&D Cookbook and, more recently, the special edition of the impressive D&D: Lore and Legends 400+ page box set.
