Reception

Lester W. Smith reviewed Dragonriders of Pern in The Space Gamer No. 75.^[1] Smith commented that "I found Dragonriders of Pern to be my second-favorite set in the picture-book series, just behind the Handy Rotary planes, and recommend it to anyone, diehard McCaffrey fan or not. At [the price] it may not be a bargain, but it is a good value for the money."^[1]
