"Imperial Munitorum Manual"

Imperial Munitorum Manual (Nick Kyme & Graham McNeill)

I think this is one of the nerdiest books I own. This is the companion tome to The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer, except it's all about the Departmento Munitorum, AKA the supply guys who keep the Imperial Guard in lasguns and pre-packaged meals. If that sounds boring, well, it (mostly) isn't; It's mostly a grimly humorous approach to the red-tape-stuffed bureaucracy of the 41st millennium. You know what, no matter how I describe it, this still sounds boring. Let me put it like this: Although this book, like the Uplifting Primer, sometimes goes a little too far into detail and becomes unpleasantly dry, the book's overall flavor is very entertaining, along with the meticulous attention to detail (The book even has fake copyright and printing information). It's not quite as good as the Uplifting Primer, but it's really not bad.
