@Skykast the Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien has a lot of dragons in it, and the dragons are about as important as Smaug is in the Hobbit.

Summary:
It's pretty much an ancient history book for Middle-Earth

[quote name="Raniuszek" date=2017-05-17 12:18:04] Seraphina! [/quote] That book is called Eragon, or The Inheritance Cycle if you're referring to the whole series.

Home is the intangible thing felt in your soul when you've come to truly know a place. Alternatively, you can drink a bottle of Home Tonic, because that sensation has been magickally isolated.

If you're still updating this. Consider also adding:

Dragoncharm by Graham Edwards
Dragons of the Cuyahoga by S. Andrew Swann

Also, not sure if you're counting wyverns as being dragons, but there's also the Firebringer trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce the wyverns have minor roles until the third book, but basically they're the reason everything else happens.

You have an awesome list of books, thanks for sharing it!

@Skykast Thank you for calling Kaj beautiful also I'm here now!

"Dragonology" has sequels! In addition to being part of an even larger series.

Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons (2003) (The first one)
Working with Dragons: A Course in Dragonology (2004)
Drake's Comprehensive Compendium of Dragonology (2009)
(Also a bunch of spin-offs I just learned)

Drake's Comprehensive Compendium is the book of my childhood. It inspired my interest in dragons, mythology, science, fantasy, and art! I mean I would have loved all those things anyway but seriously this book is so detailed and the illustrations are unique and gorgeous and amazing 10/10. The only reason it's not an 11/10 is because I wish it was even longer. 182 pages with almost as many illustrations? Baby mode. I'm going to track down the artists and commission them to draw more dragons. Not anything specific, just, more of them please.

And while typing this out I discovered that there is a coloring book. I can color one of my favorite illustrations. Nice.

(Did I mention that I started drawing dragons by tracing from this book? Judging by the results of my previous internet searches this is the case for many. That's a Cool Fact.)

Edit: Didn't even notice this hadn't been edited in a while! I just got really, really excited about this book. Yes.
