1988151 pages. Artist Robin Wood met Anne McCaffrey at the first totally Pern-oriented convention in the U.S. in 1984. However, prior to that, Robin had designed and executed portraits of Pern characters for the Mayfair Games board game, Dragonriders of Pern. In the ensuing conversation about what the characters from the Pern books really looked like, this book was conceived. Four years of work followed, with Robin and Anne comparing notes at conventions, discussing details of Pern and its people, passing letters and sketches across the Atlantic and arriving at mutually satisfactory conclusions. This represents the first, authentic look at the people of Pern, a collaboration of the finest kind between two of the finest artists available today. Very attractively illustrated glossy dust jacket in wonderful condition with minimal signs of rubbing at top and bottom edges and 3/4" tear to top of back panel. Book could pass as new. A superior copy of this enchanting work. Book
