Reception

Lewis Pulsipher reviewed The Dragon Tree Spell Book in The Space Gamer No. 47. [1] Pulsipher commented that "The other spell compendium I've seen, Spell Law [...] includes eight times as many spells as Spell Book, but many of those are simple variations. Spell Book may be more compatible with AD&D, but less with other FRPG than Spell Law. In view of the competition, Spell Book would be worth [somewhat less than its price], but [its price] is a little steep unless you're a spell collector of connoisseur." [1]
