The Dragonlover's Guide to Pern gives readers devoted to Anne McCaffrey's series plenty of background information of their favorite world. It contains maps, customs, curse words, and even recipes for a few Pernese favorites, like bubbly pies and klah. There's a short story about the hatching of F'lessan's bronze dragon, Golanth. The section on Weyrling training was written by Anne's son Todd. The threadfall charts, available to the public for the first time, were provided by the Ista Weyr group. The DLG also features early data on Pern by the exploration team who discovered it.
