If you're a fan of Dragon Quest who just so happens to like reading up on your favourite games (which we hope you do, considering your visiting this very site!) then this book might well be perfect for you.
From journalist Daniel Andreyev, 'The Legend of Dragon Quest' is available now in both standard and collector's editions. It explores the series from a unique perspective, looking at the saga "and its role as a major social phenomenon that has influenced several generations in Japan".
You can see both versions in the image above (standard is on the left); the collector's edition comes with the following included:
Collector's Edition
- The book 'The Legend of Dragon Quest'
- A variant cover
- A bookmark
- A lithograph
- A dust jacket with both covers (regular and collector) on each side
- The ebook (ePub and MOBI)
If you're interested in picking one of these up for yourself, you can get one directly from publisher Third Editions. The standard release is available for $29.95, and the collector's edition is up for $34.90. Both are hardcover books with 192 pages.
Do you have any books on your favourite game franchises? Will you be adding one of these to your collection? Let us know below.

It's a really great book, I've read it last year in french and it's a must-have if you like Dragon quest, JRPG or japan in general.
@nathatruc Yeah, I picked it up a few weeks back. I was expecting something similar to the Zelda Encyclopedia but it's a book of just solid text. So it is actually a good read then?
I will try and give it a go, but when I have a moderately higher amount of time to burn!
@AhabSpampurse it's a good read the autor talk about his relationship with the dragon quest saga and talk about all the games in the dragon quest series episode by episodes, I learned a lot of interesting things about DQ, the creators and things about the japanese culture. But there's no illustrations and it's a long book.
Damn, the collectors edition doesn't seem to be available in the UK
Idk why this book makes me think of George Michael 's Careless Whisper
I'm sure it's a great book, but for that price I would expect tons of artworks/screenshots.
@bigcalsworld Hello, we ship internationally, and a lot of our readers are from UK! So if you're from UK, you can order the collector's edition on Third Éditions' website!
@Damien_Third awesome! Just ordered it . For anyone wondering, price with shipping to the UK comes to a total of £32.62 (for the collector's edition)!
@RazumikhinPG there's zero. It's literally just text, albeit an in depth and thorough amount of text.
Is this an official book with interviews or one westerner’s assessment?
Done and done.
