The Dragonriders of Pern Good Series, Not Crazy About This Packaging - Scott Klement - Milwaukee, WI USA
I like to sit back, relax, and read good novels. I had heard of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series, and decided to give it a try.
I was very pleased with the world that McCaffrey has created. A great world of fantasy, with some really interesting ideas, and a spellbinding plot. As the stories went on, I could also see McCaffrey’s writing style improving. The earlier chapters were a little harder for my brain to digest, but the later ones were much easier, and I really got into the stories.
However, this particular edition, with 3 volumes bound into one, was a little heavy to hold. It was hard to sit back and relax, because of the weight of the book (and it’s a paperback!) I’d find myself putting it down purely because my arms were tired.
I highly recommend the series, but consider getting it in e-book format. (Kindle, iPad, Nook, et al) or else buy the three books separately, instead of this edition where they are bound together as one.

I was quite surprised at the condition of these books when they arrived. I bought them used, but they looked almost brand new. I was very happy with the purchase and the seller. I received the books quickly and without any complications.
great book - LibKat - Cape Cod, MA
Anne McCaffrey is the quintessential writer of fantasy books pertaining to dragons. These books are always wonderful, well written, and perfectly characterized. All of her series are great but the ones that take place on Pern are the best of all.

The original hardcover version of this book is only available from specialty book sellers. It is also a better quality version than the current softcover version, e.g. typographical errors. Unfortuantely some book sellers such as Supermart advertise the original hardcopy (showing the original dust cover on the Amazon web page) but ship the current softcopy version. Supermart does not provide a customer service phone number or instructions for RMA processing. I sent several emails to Supermart and Amazon requesting the hard cover version (as adveretised) and instructions for returning the softcover version they sent me. Never heard from either company. I finally found a reputable book store in NY that did send me the original hardcover version in impeccable condition. Be cautious when using Amazon Marketplace affiliates. Unless they provide a customer service contact, phone numbers, and stated return policy, find another seller.

From the Trade Paperback edition. Anne McCaffrey’s Pern is one of the most memorable worlds in science fiction and fantasy. Humans and their flying dragon companions live in fear of thread, a caustic, deadly material that falls sporadically from space. But when the thread doesn’t fall for a long time, people become complacent, forgetting that it is the brave dragonriders who can save them from the periodic threat. But when the thread falls, human and dragon heroes must fight the scourge. This edition encompasses the first three unforgettable novels of McCaffrey’s epic series: Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon.
