I think you'll agree that's quite a lot of stories (including a fair few by Black Library rising star Sarah Cawkwell). You may also have happened to notice that one of the stories amongst that little lot is the Warhammer tale Sir Dagobert’s Last Battle, written by Yours Truly.
The Best of Hammer and Bolter: Volume 1 will be available to buy from this July, but if you can't wait that long to read Sir Dagobert’s Last Battle (assuming you've not read it already, of course) then you can download it here, along with the rest of Hammer and Bolter issue 9.
"The modern master of the gamebook format" (Rob Sanders)... "Can do dark very well" (Jonathan Oliver)... "Green gets mileage out of his monsters" (SFX Magazine)... "It takes a firm editorial hand and a keen understanding of the tone of each piece to make a collection this diverse work, and Green makes it look effortless" (Starburst Magazine)... "A charming blend of camp creatures, humour, and genuine horror" (Set the Tape)

I got a chance to read this sucker at BLL!2012 yesterday and it is the heaviest and therefore best book I've seen so far this year.
Also, "Sir Dagobert's Last Battle" rocked.
