A #1 New York Time s bestseller! 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 elements throughout, including tactile samples of dragon wings and dragon scales, as well as a packet of dragon dust. — Booklet of dragon riddles (indispensable to the burgeoning dragonologist) — Sealed envelope containing a powerful dragon-calling spell — Embossed faux leather cover with red and 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!

Fascinating, Fantastic Work of a Renowned Dragonologist ...
“Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons (Ologies)” is a visually stunning compendium setting out the long-lost work of renowned 19th century dragonologist Dr. Ernest Drake. Edited by Dugald A. Steer, the volume is filled with detailed illustrations and physical representations of different characteristics of dragons. Maps, charts, journals that flip open enhance the text and the physical appeal of this marvelous volume.Following the introduction to dragonology, Dr. Drake discusses the dragons of the world; a map of their locations looks as if its edges had been charred. Separate discussions of both Western and Eastern dragon species follows the map and the chapter concludes with a section addressing “Other Dragons”. A Natural History chapter details biology and physiology, life cycle, and dragon behavior. The adventurous reader will next learn how to work with dragons including how to find and track dragons and how to tame and fly dragons. Three appendices conclude “Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons (Ologies)” – “A Dragonological Laboratory”, “Useful Spells & Charms”, and Dragonologists & Dragonslayers of History”. The inside back cover of this volume contains an Afterward by Dr. Drake and an illustration of a dragon’s head whose eye reflects the reader’s image.The appearance of “Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons (Ologies)” is consistent with that of other vintage volumes and adds to its authenticity. As if aged by years, the edges of the deep red hardcover are darkened. The metallic red outline of a dragon surrounds a colorful illustration showing a flame-breathing flying over a town. Three “emeralds” are imbedded in the circle surrounding the center illustration. The book is printed on an aged-look slick paper that is similar in weight to a manila folder.The interactive nature of different portions of “Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons (Ologies)” makes this fantasy volume a delightful book to share with others. The tactile examples of dragon’s skin and the glitter of dragon dust appeal to younger readers or observers. If you or someone you love is fascinated by dragons, this is the book for you.

Nicely done dragon book 🐉
Wonderful book of mystical dragon folklore! Plenty to keep them interested and interacting with each page. Fold outs, pull outs and little notes to read and small patches of dragon mementos to feel and look at. My 5 year old loved this book! Very old world feel and a nice rendition to the Dragons/How To Train Your Dragon adventures. It's NOT AFFILIATED with that brand, just a nice spin on the idea of dragon myth.NOTE: If you appreciated this review please give it a “thumbs up/like” your helping me to continue to give honest/unbiased insight into products I’ve used and you may have questions about. Interested in a product but don't know enough about it and would like it reviewed? Please let me know and I'll see what I can do... Thank you 🙏
