Limited Run Games announced this week that they have started a brand new book publishing imprint they’re calling Press Run. The new wing of the company will be led by former games journalists Jeremy Parish and Jared Petty, as they will be pushing out new, high-quality books on video games and other game-related topics on a monthly basis. Some of which have already been released previously and are now back in print, which fits perfectly with Limited Run’s motif. We have the latest set of books that have launched with the company for you to check out.
