Drake's Comprehensive Compendium of Dragonology by Dr. Ernest Drake (Oct 27 2009) Review: Dragonology fan's dream book - I honestly never thought I'd want another Dragonology book after I read through the majority of the older texts and had them mostly memorized (the original book, the handbook and assorted others). After seeing this installment at my library and flipping through it, however, my opinion was changed completely. Unlike the main Ology books, there are no inlaid gems in the cover and the pages are thick and parchment-like, not shiny cardstock. Despite that minor change, very few illustrations are reused from the original and adds several dragons and pseudo-dragons to the usual fare presented thus far. In terms of content removal, it only contains the original dragon runes seen in the first Dragonology and is missing the sections on dragon magic altogether. While from a publishing perspective repeating that much material is unnecessary, I feel it removes an interesting aspect from the world of Dragonology present in the other books. Even so, the addition of new dragons and fresh artwork can make even a long-time, older fan's interest become renewed. I can happily say this book will not be donated to my cousins as the others have. Pros: -New artwork -New dragons -Recaps and collects important parts of older works -High quality paper and beautiful canvas cover -Has a built-in ribbon bookmark Cons: -Expensive! It's most likely out-of-print, but makes a good gift for collectors and fans of Dragonology -Big, thick book, may be intimidating to smaller children -Lacks interesting (but minor) content from other Dragonology books Review: Fantastic companion for your favourite dragon lover - Fantastic, detailed, and well-illustrated look into the world of dragons. Biology, social customs, all of these and more are included; a great read for anyone interested in the topic. Got it for a friend, but am sorely tempted to get another copy for myself ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00D823OTG | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (78) | | Publisher | Candlewick | ## Images ![Drake's Comprehensive Compendium of Dragonology by Dr. Ernest Drake (Oct 27 2009) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fI6vu78sL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dragonology fan's dream book *by B***N on May 22, 2015* I honestly never thought I'd want another Dragonology book after I read through the majority of the older texts and had them mostly memorized (the original book, the handbook and assorted others).

Biology, social customs, all of these and more are included; a great read for anyone interested in the topic. Got it for a friend, but am sorely tempted to get another copy for myself ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for kids, fun for adults *by J***S on April 19, 2011* My daughter brought this book home from the library and after a week, we all decided we needed a copy for ourselves. It's amazing how much detail went into creating Drake's Compendium - detailing each kind of dragon, their habits, their temperaments, prey, habitat, diet, language, alphabet, bone-structure. Even their dung. It has a tremendous amount of humor in addition to drop dead gorgeous illustrations. I now know more than I ever thought I would about the European, Knucker, Ryu, Lung, American and Mexican Amphithere dragons (plus all the psuedo-dragons). The whole family loves this books and looks forward to more compendiums of mythical beasts by the publisher. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/98931412-drakes-comprehensive-compendium-of-dragonology-by-dr-ernest-drake-oct](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/98931412-drakes-comprehensive-compendium-of-dragonology-by-dr-ernest-drake-oct) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
