Oh, I ADORE THE JIR! Someday, I'm going to have a paper published in it, I just know! So far though, some idiot somewhere on the top of Mt Everest or something always has managed to reproduce one of my results. I have high hopes for the space invasion come Thursday, though! :mg:

No, though that's fun too. This was a large-format book, similar in size to some of those pressed-fairies-type books, but thicker. It had tons of illustrations as well.

I have this one, but the biology of Pernese dragons is different.

My favorite journal is the Journal of Polymorphous Perversity (which is not about what you might assume from the title).

I think I found it here. Fun book.

Fun book.

The Flight Of Dragons, back in the late Seventies. I've got a copy around here somewhere...
