About the Author
Dr. Ernest Drake is the author of the rediscovered DRAGONOLOGY: THE COMPLETE BOOK OF DRAGONS, first published in a very limited run in 1895. Said to be a noted dragonologist and founder of the Secret & Ancient Society of Dragonologists in London, Dr. Ernest Drake was determined to bring the subject of dragons under the burgeoning umbrella of the nineteenth-century natural sciences. The spectacular popularity of his book DRAGONOLOGY has sparked a great deal of interest in the study of dragons and spurred much rummaging in antiquarian bookshops and attics in search of new Drake material. Happily, this earlier volume created for students, THE DRAGONOLOGY HANDBOOK: A PRACTICAL COURSE IN DRAGONS, turned up recently in an old public house called the Canny Lad in Edinburgh.

another triumph from ernest drake!, April 16 2005
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Dragonology Handbook: A Practical Course in Dragons (Hardcover)
this is an awesome book!!!!It is very similar to dragonology.But it has more!We are introduced to three new dragon species.The Gargouille,The Cockatrice(it is more related to a phoenix) and the basilisk.It also has more hands-on things than Dragonology.For example you are able to make a dragon attractor there is spaces in the book you are allowed to write in and an SASD(secret and ancient society of dragonologists)library card.You can also recieve a diploma in the field of dragonology at the end of the book.But believe it or not there is more!You can write in Dragon Script,learn riddles, and even learn about dragon magic.And there is still more but i dont want to spoil the book.If you consider yourself creative or imaginative BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

A Wonderful Book, April 15 2005
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Dragonology Handbook: A Practical Course in Dragons (Hardcover)
After my amazement in response to the first Dragonology, this book is just as mysterious and wonderful. What it lacks in size it makes up for in information content and outstanding drawings and little things(inkstains,antique like pages,etc). You'll learn the differences between a cockatrice and a basilisk, the migratory paths of frost dragons, how to hatch a dragon egg, and how to use Anglo Saxon runes to communicate with dragons. You'll enjoy the new dragon species not in the first book, and the homework ideas, charts, maps, and documents concealed within its mystical pages. This is a book you will not be able to put down. I have heard a review on the internet about this book, saying that it's basically the same as the other book. This book, while focusing on the same subject, is much more different than the other. It has new facts, drawings, and a new text(which is, in fact, like a school textbook). This book is as magical as the first and you will not waste your money buying it. You'll absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Must Have with Dr. Drakes first book on Dragonology, May 31 2005
By TotalEarthGirl "Kilroy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Dragonology Handbook: A Practical Course in Dragons (Hardcover)
My son is carrying around Dr. Drakes' two books, like he is being a scholar in Dragonology. I want to read it too!All the little nicks and tucks like the first book, with Dr. Drakes' Report Card, and other fun finds.
It compliments the first book so well.
I just can't say enough about the Dragonology Handbook.
A Definite Must Have!
