What a wonderful morning - browsing in a bookshop! :D

Just thought I would mention these beautiful books which I noticed.

‘Dragon Raiders’ by Cornelia Funke about Firedrake The Dragon.




A set of books by Ernest Dale, bound in imitation leather, beautiful illustrations studded with ‘gems’.
‘Working With Dragons’
‘Dragonology’

‘Bring Up Baby Dragon’

‘Wizardry’

They looked so interesting, even for 'older readers' who just loves Dragons and Wizards!:)
 
Dragonology is on the kids level... very nicely done... reminds me of Dinotopia in a way.

I can also add:

The Year of the Dragon, it has a chinese theme... but is very nice.

Dragons: A Natural History... a brief history of dragons.

And The Dragon Chronicles... has excellent pictures!!!
 
I bought Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke yesterday. I've been eyeing it up for a while. I thought I'd browse it before going any further with Dragon Pact. I don't want to cross ground she has already covered. I already know I won't be treading on McCaffrey's toes too much, because my style of writing is very different. Thought I'd better check out Cornelia's work too.

Hmm, something worth thinking about. Did you have anything in mind?:)

They might be written and illustrated for children but I thought they were gorgeous !!:) Maybe I should get them for my Granddaughters! :D

I think there are more dragon related books coming out in the Dragonology series which I imagine will be similarly beautiful.. Also they are making Wizardology, but it won't be ready just yet....

...Dragonology essays written by adults for adults.
No way... I saw it sold just last night in a kids book fair... are you sure Cyborg??? ;)
Also they are making Wizardology, but it won't be ready just yet....
Now I did see this, a little pricey for my blood at the moment, but it's nice... very nice book.
They also have Eyptology (or something like that :))

...you would be surprized, there are probably just as many adults who are interested in Dragonology. Try it, you might like it.
