I love it to pieces and when I got the chance I bought a hardback copy. The pictures are beautiful, the information - however "correct" it is - is interesting and presented so well you'll keep reading awhile. My copy is breaking at the seems due to use. One thing is the hardback is a heavy - don't hit anyone with it it or drop it on your foot it WILL hurt. Due to this it's not a "in bed wrapped in covers" book but I wouldn't trade it.

The secret universe of the dragon is revealed, offering insight into their psychological characteristics; their long-held customs; their heroic tales that include such mythological beings as Perseus, Hercules, and Tristan; and their individual personality and history. They lurk in the most hidden corners of the world: the powerful and beautiful creatures known as dragons. We know them as the terrifying beasts of fairy tales, but their own story has remained a mystery--until now. Ciruelo, an illustrator of astounding skill, delves into their secret universe, revealing a rich and fascinating culture filled with poetry, magic, enchantment, and knowledge. Each of these wondrous creatures has its own unique personality and history, and it's captured dramatically on these spectacular pages. But the revelations go beyond the images, as we gain insight into their psychological characteristics; encounter many different types (Earth Dragons, Water Dragons, Fire Dragons, and the legendary Golden Dragon); learn about their long-held customs; and explore the many legends in which they have figured so prominently--including the heroic tales of Perseus, Hercules, and Tristan.
