Art Books
The Art of DreamWorks Animation
Size: 12 inches
Distribution: Worldwide
Manufacturer: Abrams (2014)
This is another amazing book. It looks at the art, concept, and creation of every single one of DreamWorks' films, up to their upcoming Home film! So of course, it has lots of lovely dragons for me! It's got some beautiful prints of what later became Fine Art and lots of bits of information from the creators. It's a must-have!! I don't care who you are, go out and get one!!

Collector's Art Book
Size: ~11.5 inches
Distribution: Unknown (China only?)
Manufacturer: Unknown (2014)
Complete set: Yes 2/2
What an unusual book! I can't read a word of it, but by comparing it to my other merchandise, I've at least figured out that it's in Chinese. It's a large, beautiful book and comes with stunning glossy pages of character profiles, stock art and screen shots. It also has a cute glittery title!
It's funny, because China is well known for being... um... on the bottom rung when it comes to merchandise quality. But this book is actually much nicer than many of the Western ones! It also has a DVD, a poster, and three bookmarks. All in all, I am VERY happy to add this to the collection!
I have also managed to get my hands on a second variant! The seller told me it was Japanese, but the title matches this one exactly, so I think it's Chinese. It comes with the same disc and poster, but different (and fewer) bookmarks! It also has the same pictures but in a different order. I think it has some different pictures, too.

Adventures with Dragons
Size: ~11.5 inches
Distribution: Worldwide
Manufacturer: Insight Editions (2019)
A very pretty book that details all three movies! It has beautiful pop-up scenes and some very nice art. However there's not that many pages, and very little text, so I don't feel it's really worth the £40-50 RRP. It's worth it if you can get it cheaper, though!

Sticker, Colour & Activity Books
Dragons Panini Sticker Album
Size: 10.5 inches
Distribution: Europe
Manufacturer: Panini (2014)
Complete set: Yes 168/168
I didn't think HTTYD2 would get one of these, and I'm kinda right! This book has stickers for scenes from both HTTYD2 and the TV show. I've got both English and German versions, and the English one is complete! My dad was super kind to me, and even got me a brand new album and complete set of loose stickers!

Storybooks
World of Dragons
Size: 9.5 inches
Distribution: Worldwide
Manufacturer: Simon Spotlight (2019)
This is a really nice book, in fact it's one of the best for the franchise! It's got lovely detailed pages on almost every dragon (I noticed that at least the Boneknapper is missing, so it's not 100% complete!). But it does have a lot of the dragons in it, and each one has new, unique artwork for it! I strongly recommend it for any Dragons fan!

To Berk and Beyond!
Size: 10.8 inches
Distribution: Worldwide
Manufacturer: Insight Kids (2015)
This is probably the best HTTYD book that isn't just about the dragons! It's written from the perspective of all the main characters, like a journal, and it makes for a really immersive and interesting read! It also comes with some cards, some post cards, some dragon riders, and Hiccup's map. It's the most accurate and best quality copy of his map available, in my opinion! Overall it's a fantastic book and definitely worth picking up!

Dragon Guide Books
Size: 7.8-10 inches
Distribution: Worldwide
Manufacturer: Simon Spotlight (2014-2016)
Complete set: Yes 4/4
These guide books are so great! They contain detailed information on nearly all the dragon species, including stats and facts! I love that kinda stuff. Unfortunately, volume 2 and 3 are hard to find now and the price has gone up, so my solution? Get the ultimate guide which is all three volumes together! Problem solved! However years later it was eBay to the rescue, and I was finally able to complete this set!

Dragons Come to Life!
Size: 9.2 inches
Distribution: Worldwide
Manufacturer: Carlton Kids (2017)
I'd been eying this book up for a while, and then a friend surprised me by getting it for me! I was a happy collector indeed! It's a cool book, which features lots of information on the characters, as well as the option to use AR. It also features information on some characters from RTTE, like Ryker and Viggo.

Ultimate Movie Guide
Size: 10.5 inches
Distribution: Worldwide
Manufacturer: Hodder Children's Books (right), Scholastic (left) (2019)
A nice book that was released to compile all three movies! It has lots of nice information in it, although it's all stuff we've heard before, but it's really nice to have something streamlining the trilogy into one book!
As I was organising my collection, I discovered that I had two of these books that were slightly different! One, purchased from the UK, was published by Hodder Childnre's Books, and the other, gifted to me from Australia, was published by Scholastic. The books even have different ISBNs! How weird! There's no difference to the contents, but the backs and spines have different logos, and also the Scholastic book has a plain red title box rather than the shiny one on the Hodder version.

Original Books and Cards
Size: 8 inches (books), 4 inches (cards)
Distribution: Worldwide
Manufacturer: Hodder Children's Books (2010-2019)
Complete set: Yes 5/5 (cards). 4/4 (cover variants)
As I said, I only like book stuff that ties into the movie. The bottom four are the original book that the film was based off, making them pretty important. One normal cover, three movie covers.
The ones along the top, I don't care about the books. I care about the cards stashed at the back. They each have a card that relates to a dragon from the film. Now I have them all!
How to Train Your Dragon -> Toothless Daydream -> Toothless/Terrible Terror
How to Be a Pirate -> Gronckle
How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse -> Deadly Nadder
How to Ride a Dragon's Storm -> Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus -> Red Death
How to Betray a Dragon's Hero -> Common/Garden/Basic Brown -> Toothless/Terrible Terror
