Being a fan of Dragonlance for many years, but also being unlucky to not get this book the first time it was published, I was very happy to see that the publishers decided to put this book up for sale again. "Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home", is great if you want to know more history on the Dragonlance. It has a lot of info on the Gods of Krynn. There is deeply detailed information about the past of Krynn. Including wars, gods, dragons, and anything else you could possibly want to know.

There are also songs, poems, and recipes. Many of the songs and poems were published in the original Chronicles or Legends. But it is nice to have them in one place in easy reach. The recipes range from Gully Dwarf Stew to Otik's spicy potatoes. This book is definatley an entertaining companion to the Dragonlance world. People looked for it everywhere when it out out-of-print. So what better time to get it than now when they are publishing it again.

I first saw this book on a visit to the States in Feburary 1997. Since then I have been kicking myself for not buying it, seeing as it cannot be found anywhere! It is the complete sourcebook of Krynn, a must for all Role Players or Gamers, and even fanatical Krynn Collectors. It contains background information on the Heroes of the Lance and even Kenderish maps. There are songs, recipes, and the book itself is embodied with the true spirit of Dragonlance Adventuring. Being a small-time collector and currently owning 48 D.L. books, take my advice- this is not an oppertunity to be missed!

This book definitly has it all. All that miscellaneous information that isn't quite explained in the novels... especially the recipes. The problem I ran into was trying to find it, since I missed the last reprinting. To anyone looking for it, look up Margaret Weis's store in Wisonsin.. find the phone number and call. She said they had some extras laying around.. I even got mine autographed!!

It contains any info you want to know about Dragonlance and even stuff you used to think was so small no one would ever get info about it. It has stories, poems, songs, numerology information, and recipes.

Along with the Dragonlance Atlas, Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home sourcebook is a must have for those who are in love with the novels...yes the novels! I believe this is a book to supplement the AD&D RPG game for a DM to enrich the game with but its not your typical Sourcebook with rules etc. It is like a supplement to the novels choke full of stories and straight facts about the world of Krynn...this is a treasure! I guess another way to describe it would be: this source book could very well be what a shared author references when writing in the world of Krynn and you can own it!
Some info you can look forward to:

-Learn about some of the Ages
-Details on how the Companions met
-Read about some of the various artifacts including: Dragon orbs, Hammar of Kharas, Wyrmslayer,etc.
-Maps
-Songs
-Various legends and tales
-And various essays and much more!

If you are eating up the world of Dragonlance and want more of the details and you want them quick you got to grab this out-of-print gem and pick up the Atlas as well.

This is great. The perfect companion to the Weis&Hickman novels. Loads of cool stuff--especially welcome, for me at least, was the compilation of the poetry from the Chronicles. The Song of Huma is absent for some reason, but that's the only omission I noticed, and it's great to have things like Goldmoons song, The Knight of the Black Rose, and Kitiara, of All the Days together. If you see it, buy it!

This book details the unimagineable. If you like knowing somthing more about the world and or people READ THIS BOOK! it is very useful I personally like the numerology section and the RECIPIES (you have to try the spicy potatoes) the granny kender bread is good too.(after eating this bread we then knew why kenders are they way they are)

This is a must read for any DragonLance fan! It tells everything you ever wanted to know about Krynn, including all of the songs and poems in the boooks (some musical scores too). I definatly would recamend this book for anyone!

I had this book years ago and it disappeared from my belongings after I left for the military and my parents moved. A friend gave all her Dragonlance books away to a friend and I snatched this book up from the pile and threatened a cataclysm if anyone tried to take it from me.

If you love the Dragonlance series, this is a must have for you. Great back story and interesting, easy read. The recipes in there are awesome. I recommend Gnomish chicken and Otik's Famous Spiced Potatoes straight out of the story itself. People love it when I make them and I never tell them where I got the recipe.

After a long search (and learning once the Ms. Weis herself hadn't manged to get a copy), I finally got my hands on a copy of this. It provides a great additional source for the history and world of Krynn, as well as some excellent songs, and my personal favorite, recipes (I particularly love the Kender Travelling Kiffles...difficult to make, but addictive). I hope they bring this one back into print as it's a great addition for the collection of anyone with ANY interest in the Dragonlance series.
