Amazon.com Review

The original Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home--first published back in 1987--was a must-have reference for Dragonlance fans, packed with supplementary material that included short stories, songs, and recipes. More Leaves delivers more of the same and even offers promising instructions for War of the Lance dishes like dragon-blasted steak and kender rolls. (Which, of course, kender rely on for "doughnutlike sweetness to give them indefatigable energy").

As with the first book, More Leaves both hits and misses, drawing from professional and a few not-quite-all-pro contributors: some of the kender taunts are nothing short of lame ("Wow! You smell so rotten a gully dwarf wouldn't give you a bath"), but detailed bios on each of Anasalon's dragon overlords, for example, will likely interest even nonfans. The bottom line is that any DL true believer really can't go wrong picking this up, if not for patented gnomish inventions and trés cool magic items, then for inspired treatises like "Slugs, fungi, molds, and other things I hope to never see again." --Paul Hughes

4.0 out of 5 stars Composed for fans, by some fans., May 24, 2000

By A Customer

This is a pretty good book similiar to two previous Dragonlance compilations (the original Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home, and The History of the Dragonlance saga). This book has contributions from Dragonlance fans who wanted to add their ideas about the Dragonlance world. If you're looking for something new you'll find it in here. Having the first two books makes this book a better buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD, but not as much as the original!, May 20, 2000

By	Christopher A. Williams "Juriswilliams" (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

MORE LEAVES FROM THE INN OF THE LAST HOME is an excellent compiliation of recipies, maps and short tales of both PRE 5th age and POST 5th age. Well worth the money spent, but it doesn't compare to it's precursor, Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home (which they REALLY should reprint). If you are a diehard Dragonlance fan, I don't see how you could be without this book. If you're a casual DL reader, you could probably get along with out it.

Like the other two books in this series, "More Leaves from the Inn of Last Home" is a wonderful and sparkling collection of impressions, pictures, stories, tales, poems and arts concerning the world of Dragonlance. Most likely, Dragonlancers will love these books. SCAdians may even like the material on Knightly Orders -- and their armor -- and other Medieval-like contents such as large-scale missile-weapons. Anyone may like the sheer variety of creativity.

These "scrapbooks" are very clever collections -- not using many game-specific stats. So, with these three "scrapbooks", edited by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, you have a fairly full set of Dragonlance sourcebooks, with unique bonus extras, for Dragonlance and certain related RPGs -- for me, being my personal blend of AD&D/C&C [Advanced Dungeons and Dragons/Castles and Crusades] +++
