Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
A memorable passage from The Art of the Dragonlance Saga explains the saga's birth in 1984: "The god who began to envision the possibility of this world in his mind was the God of Marketing. This god ascended from his mighty throne one day in early 1983 and announced that he had done a survey. And, according to the survey, people who played the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® game wanted more dragons."

And more dragons they got. The prolific and extraordinarily popular writing duo of Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman produced a veritable treasure trove of books telling of the heroic exploits and dastardly deeds of the denizens of their fantasy world. The Art of the Dragonlance Saga, long out of print, collects all the art from the novels, calendars, and game products that the God of Marketing created. This is an extremely rich collection, with sketches, paintings, drawings, and studies of beloved characters and settings. It is also full of artist's notes, character development, and explanations of the ways in which the books and the art coevolved. A must-have for Dragonlance fans, The Art of the Dragonlance Saga is also wonderful eye candy for all swords and sorcery fans. --Therese Littleton

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Organized! Beautifully Presented!, July 4, 1999
By A Customer
This was an absolutely beautifully laid out book. It contains 'round 40 full color full page prints of paintings of the dragonlance saga. Along with the prints there is also background info. on how the artists put the images together, along with an intriguing storyline that ran with the images. An absolutely fantastic book... can't say much more about it!

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as I remembered it, December 24, 1998
By A Customer
An excellent reprint of the original book. After going through 3 old ones and not even Amazon having it, I heard of a new reprint coming out. This is a must get for any type oF dragonlance fan. It also reminds me of how much I love Elmors paintings and how much they add to the fantasy of the books. I give this book 10 stars out of 5, I stole some stars from a crappy book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lavish selection of TSR's best works, April 29, 2000
This review is from: The Art of the Dragonlance Saga: Based on the Fantasy Bestseller by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (Paperback)
This gorgeous book is one of the finest compendiums of TSR artwork ever created - it is loaded full of hundreds of illustrations, free of print, on glossy paper; included are every piece of full-color artwork ever created for Dragonlance (up through 1987), supplemented with rich text and many, many concept sketches that appear nowhere else! For Dragonlance afficionados, or those who appreciated classic art by Easley, Caldwell, Parkinson, Elmore, and more, this is the ideal collection.
