I remember reading these books in junior high. We were lucky enough to meet Anne McCaffery when we visited Ireland in 2000, and she signed the copy that we had all read. The first copy I received was damaged, but I’m not marking it down for that since it will get replaced. Now I can finally add them to my home collection.

The copy of the book that I read was also read by my father, brother, wife and niece. In the first Pern novel, Anne McCaffrey introduces us to the heroine Lessa and her rise from basically chattel slavery to the savior of Pern from both the dictators in power tasked with preventing the even greater threat of "The Thread. My son wanted a book he could take to High School with him to read and he asked about Dragonflight. I had to buy a new copy for him to take to school, glad he is venturing into the Pern Universe.

" I read Dragonflight back in the 80's when I was in Junior High of High School.
