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 item 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!Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

I got this book for a gift when I was 8 years old. I saw it at the bookstore and I thought the cover was pretty and it had neat stuff inside - dragon scales, dragon dust, and it had a big jewel on the back - by that I mean on the last page.
I mostly looked at it for the first day, but then I started reading it. The stories were great. I still have it and have been collecting these books. I have Dragonology, Egyptology, Wizardology, and Fairyopia. I love these books and take good care of them.

My son first saw this book in his classroom, and he was immediately enthralled with it, so I bought one, and I am happy that I did. It is well put together, and, if you have as vivid an imagination as my son does, you will be able to have many days worth of fun with this.

This book is great for someone with a little imagination. It talks of dragons as if they are real creatures of today. It is almost a field guide to dragons. It's fun for all ages.

OK, so I'm not a Harry Potter fan and I'm not in grades 5 through 8 (being more in the senior citizen class) but I love this book. Herein I found information old and new and every bit of it magnetic to a mind that never grew beyond wonder tales. The wonderful cover draws my hands to feel its embossing and my eyes to feast on the jewels and pictures. Even the publication information page delights, with its pictures, dragon catching spell, and personal, removable note to dragonologists. And don't go too far page by page. Turn to that inside back cover and see if you are a master dragonologist or not. Also, there are things I can flip open, feel, and pull out on most every page - a veritable joy to one who still likes pop-up books. If you, like me, still enjoy an over-active imagination this book will delight you.
