 Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons
For true believers only, a lavishly illustrated reproduction of a legendary volume by the world's most distinguished dragonologist. Don't let it fall into the wrong hands!
Do you believe in dragons? Now, for the first time, the long-lost research of renowned nineteenth century dragonologist Dr. Ernest Drake is presented in all its eccentric glory, happily bridging the gap between dragon legend and fact. The meticulous Dr. Drake assigns Latin names to various dragon species, ruminates on why dragons are able to speak, speculates on how they could fly, and explains the true purpose of their notorious hoarding habits. Here are just a few of DRAGONOLOGY'S fascinating features:
- Novelty items on every spread, including tactile samples of dragon wings, dragon scales, and dragon skin
- Booklet of dragon riddles (indispensable to the burgeoning dragonologist)
- Sealed envelope containing a powerful dragon-calling spell
- Embossed faux leather cover with silver foil, encrusted with three dragon gems
In his afterword, Dr. Drake reveals that one of the crucial goals of dragonologists is to preserve the magnificent creatures of their study wherever possible - a goal this tongue-in-cheek volume most affectionately achieves. An incomparable gift for secret dragonologists everywhere!
The Dragonology Handbook: A Practical Course in Dragons
Are you ready to become a dragonmaster?
First, Dr. Ernest Drake's Dragonology was discovered and published to great acclaim. And now, a student's course in dragonology, written by Dr. Drake himself, has come to light.
In this illustrated textbook, Dr. Drake guides you through twenty-one lessons that promise to make you an undisputed expert in dragonology.
Dragonology - I actually read the handbook first, that one was a more in-depth book than this one, you could sort of think of the second book as the actual text book and this one as a kind of coffee table version. Bigger, but with more pictures and less content. Amazingly for a library book it seemed to have all it's little extras hidden away in pockets or folded over sections. I enjoyed it less than the handbook and in fact the two have a lot of duplication between then. If you got only one I would grab the second.
The Dragonology Handbook: A Practical Course in Dragons - I wish I was a kid when this book was published. I always like to pretend school, and this "textbook" would have been a lot of fun to study. It is loosely based on real dragon mythology, so you do actually learn something about dragons, and is presented with exercises and homework assignments. The illustrations are beautiful, though who thought it was a good idea to put script text on top of an image should look for another job, it was nearly impossible to read, I had to skip some of the riddles since they were too difficult to make out.
