Summary: Excellent reference, but needs to be revised
Comment: This was when it was issued an excellent reference for Pern, but it has since been very dated by the publication of books such as Masterharper of Pern and Skies of Pern. And the information in it is extremely shallow compared to some of the excellent wesites that are available online. I would be delighted if Jody Lynn Nye and Annne McCaffrey would sit down and incorporate some of the work Pern fans have been doing in the interim years and make this a truly authoritative Pern reference book.

Rating: 1
Summary: Very misleading and inconsistent!!!!
Comment: I was infuriated by this "guide" to Pern. Not only is it not up to standard to the 1st edition, it's very inconsistent in its contents. The descriptions in the series books don't match those in the guide. The drawings of places, objects, animals and people don't match the descriptions in books and the previously published pictures.

Rating: 3
Summary: Must for collectors, but not a great guide...
Comment: 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.
