Book of Fluff

This was mentioned a few years ago on the mailing list and I have to bring it up again because it has been my dream since then.
How about Fanatic giving us a BloodBowl book filled with nothing but fluff.
Reprint all of the fluff from the Handbooks, and add a lot more in. Give us fluff for each of the teams, like the 2nd editon stuff. Have fluff on all of the star players so we can grow to be fans of them as well.
Then have a section of the book with team rosters from all of the famous Teams in the history of Bloodbowl. So that way we could line up and play one-off games with them. Replay the classic Orcland Raiders vs Chaos All-Stars the way they were in there prime.
I know I would love to have this book. Though I do enjoy the fluff of the game more then most of the guys in my league.
Anybody else think this is a great idea?

That would be most cool! I would but it.
It would even give them an excuese to make more mini's. Imagine a specific year Orcland Raiders set of mini's.

That's actually a really cool way for them to do new lines of minis for teams.
Instead of creating new teams, each year pick 1 team from the fluff and make the minis for that. A lot of people will pick them up just for the fluff factor, others because they look much better.

And some new Blood bowl art work while their at it, rather than recycling the old stuff that keeps cropping up in the bb mags and annuals and whatever

Yeah, but that would mean they would have to pay an artist to come up with some more drawings, eitc.

Having the models be another team of the same race is an excelent idea. We can start with the new elf team. No need for new rules they are just a diffrent team.
What about Borak's bio that would tell about his journalism career and his ask borak articles.
This Book keeps sounding better and better.
I want it!!!!
We need more fluff!!!

The new elf minis could be the "2480 Blood Bowl Winners - Elfheim Eagles" pack

Yes! Please! Pretty Pretty Please. Fluff is what makes GW Products better than others IMHO. Not that their Fluff is as great as I would like to have it, but I enjoy reading Fluff to relax my brain from studying.
Also a attempt to move Fluff away from the Rules would be great.
Make a strict Rulebook (maybe with some separate Fluff) with the basic Teams (4th Edition+Ogre+Rotter...) and a Fluffbook with only Fluff and some seperated Rules (Detailed and new Kicking Rules) and new Teams. So the new Book would be worth my 20 Euro and would Invest 20 Euro in the new overworked and redesigned Rulebook as well!
English, German, both... I dont care!
