Assess Out Of Books The Atlas of Pern (Pern (Chronological Order))
It was good to finally get an in depth look at the various places on Pern all in one place, in order to make comparisons and see what was exactly where... although it would be nice to have the areas that Anne's son Todd visited in his collection of books on this same planet. Maybe someday a revision of this book could be made covering the other land masses and the setup they used for their temporary weyrs.Also the depictions of hold layouts and the main Weyr layouts helped to understand the

This atlas is filled with maps and diagrams of Anne McCaffrey's fictional world, Pern, including details of both the Northern and Southern Continents, individual Holds and Weyrs and Craft Halls, and whatever else you might have tried to imagine but wished you'd had a good map of while you read the stories.There is a limitation to what's here, because it was created after the first two trilogies, and anything that was published after The White Dragon may not have all its locales detailed here.

Fantastic Atlas of the Pern World by my good friend Karen Fonstad, written with the approval and help of Pern author Anne McCaffrey.Unfortunately, the Atlas was written at a time when the series was far from finished so today it's incomplete and Karen has sadly left us. I feel extremely priviledged to have known her and to have had a chance for her to sign all my "Karen" books.A wonderful addition to any Pern collection.

A lovely tie-in for the Pern series.

I had fond memories of this book, but I found it A) didn't hold up well in the era of maps done in Adobe Illustrator and B) I hadn't read the original two trilogies in 20 years. It turns out that this book doesn't have a huge amount of value if you don't remember the locations depicted. That all said, there's no way I could give a Karen Wynn Fonstad atlas a bad review.
