Wonderful background and history of the Dragonriders of Pern series

This book was great for the history of Pern. I loved the background of the dragons and the species of Pern.

Wrong Edition

I thought I was getting the second edition book which is what I wanted and I got the first edition book instead, I only know because where the first edition ends the second edition still continues on! VERY frustrating :(

Welcome to Pern

The Dragonlovers Guide to pern is a perfect companion to Anne McCaffrey"s classic Dragonriders of Pern series of books. It gives a warm , detailed look at the three diverse types of society on Pern, Crafthalls, Lord Holders, and the Weyrs of Pern. Beautiful drawings fill this fine volume, and the heraldric emblems for the Halls, Holds, and Weyrs are given, except for the newer ones in the books written since this volume was published. This guide also gives a very complete overview and quick get-acquainted introduction to Pernese life and ways. No self-respecting fan of the world of Pern should be without it!!!

The Great Book

This book is the best source of pern info you can buy in a book. It gives backround information on almost all aspects of pern, and helped clear up some details I didn't understand. Two thumbs up, a must for any dragonlover.

Best Informative guide For any Series

A great book to help comprehend the Dragonriders of Pern series. A good companion to have when reading any Pern book!

Excellent companion to the "Dragonriders of Pern" series!

I've been reading Pern since I was nine(9) years old and while it was entertaining, some of the facts were a bit confusing until I obtained my first copy of "The Dragonlovers Guide to Pern". This book answers many questions and is a must buy for any true Pern fan! It is a decided plus for anyone running an online game based on Pern as well!

All the info you wanted to know, but couldn't find

Do you love Anne McCaffrey's Pern books? Did you ever wonder exactly what a bubbly pie was or how klah really tastes? Want the recipe? It's all in this book. I took this home and kicked my family out of the kitchen for hours. Klah is fabulous if you like coffee, cinnamon, and chocolate. Do you want to know what the Rukbat system looks like? There's a map of Rukbat here. And what are those bloody threads made of anyway? And how do the dragonriders predict where they'll fall next? It's all right here in this cover-to-cover learning experience
