The Dragonlover's Guide to Pern

Rating:
Summary: Must for collectors, but not a great guide...
Review: While it's nice to have a historical view of Pern, and the short story "The Impression" by the Lady Herself is a must-have, the book, (even the second edition) is severely hamstrug by the amount of mistakes. Names are misspelled, descriptions contradict the novels, and as was mentioned, several graphs are not labeled or are improperly labled (the dragon memory/empathy graph makes no sense, as the shading is reversed. This was wrong in the first edition and hasn't been repaired.) While the addition of an index is very helpful, it would have been better if they'd devoted some time to fixing the mistakes from the first version.
