D&D General Another new book "Dungeons & Dragons Museum" due October 24, 2024

It occurred to me that the title was chosen deliberately so WotC can say the name is in use, should anyone else try to use it.

Otherwise it’s an odd title for a book.

That is a really interesting point. Especially since Hasbro are the publisher, which is not usual at all for these books.

Hasbro is the publisher, rather than one of their licensing partners like DK or Ten Speed.

"Oh crap, those licensed books are selling really well!"

"Wait, we want that, don't we?"

"But ... that's money we could have made ourselves!"

"Yes, but ..."

"QUICK, TO THE PRINTING PRESSES!"

This is not published by Hasbro, but by a British publisher called Bonnier whom I have never heard of:

Actually, it seems Bonnier may be the owner of Time publishing now, so based on the photos this is less like Art & Arcana and more like a delixe version of that Time D&D special from last month.

According to the website they are in Sweden. And looks a bit dodgy to me.

The parent company is, but the UK books publisher which seems to be behind thisnis in London (kind of weird, though):

Bonnier is a reputable publisher. They've been around for over 200 years.

Clearly running a long con.
