Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: I don't use dragons much and the price tag scared me off for quite a while but I finally bought this book and am glad I did. Even if you only use dragons sparingly like I do I find the book worth it simply because when I do use dragons I want the encounter to be important and challenging. Dragons straight out of the monster manual may be tough but I always find that my players prepare for the battle ahead of time and always make themselves immune to the breath weapon, the dragon's most powerful ability. Well this book has plenty of spells and metabreath feats to shock and dismay your PCs like spells to change the breath weapon energy type or feats to maximize the breath weapon. Also there are dragon prestige classes and dragon magical items.
For players their are dragon based prestige classes such as a dragonhunter and a slew of magic items that can be crafted from a slain dragon's corpse. Also their are more spells for players either to combat dragons or to give the player dragon-like abilities such as a breath weapon.
Lets not forget they also listed sample treasure hoards for every EL so you don't have to roll them all out. Also there are sample dragons of every major type and age if you don't want to go through the trouble of making up a dragon yourself. They also have sample dragon lairs for each type of dragon.
A very good book.

Summary: A great resource for dragon fans
Comment: If you think the Dragon section in the Monster Manual just isn't detailed enough for your tastes, this is the book for you.
It has tons of both flavor and crunch, including information on the anatomy, physiology, life cycle, history and culture of dragons. There are prestige classes, magic items, feats and spells appropriate for both dragon characters and non-dragon characters. This book is useful for both players and DMs.
From a player's perspective, it includes information on how to fight a dragon, and how to aquire a dragon mount or cohort, or even play a dragon as a PC.
For the DMs, there is information on how to effectively run a dragon in combat, including how and when to use each of a dragon's numerous combat options, new dragon and dragon-like monsters, how to incorporate dragons into an adventure or a campaign, and most importantly, sample dragons of each major type at each age category, and sample lairs.
If you have ever wanted to include dragons in your campaign, this is just the book for you. Even if you didn't, after you read this book, you might just change your mind.

Summary: For passionate D&D enthusiasts
Comment: If you are really into Dragons (as any true Dungeons and Dragons player must be), then the dragons section in the monster manual just isn't good enough. There are no creatures in the entire role-playing world as versitile and interesting and add as much flair to a story as Dragons. Dragons as allies, dragons as enemies, dragons as background stories or even dragons as characters make D&D what it is. This is the book about Dragons, going more in depth into everything from physiology and psychology to ancestry and culture. Every question that you have ever had about a dragon (and an incredible number of answers to questions you haven't even thought of) arre what this book is all about.
A couple of notes: This book is not for somebody creating their first adventure or someone who likes to read Pern stories. This book is a fairly advanced technical manual designed for a seasoned D&D DM who wants to take their adventure to the next challenging level. Using this book doesn't make working with dragons easy, but if you are willing to put the work into it, this book will put the knowledge you need at your fingertips.
My suggestion for this book is the same with many of the higher level, more specific manuals in the D&D series: Find a friend who has it or find a copy in a bookstore to browse through to make sure this book is right for you before you put down the money for it, because it will not be for everyone! For those DMs who this book is well suited for however, you and your players will have such adventures to come that you'll never forget!
