Reddit reviews Dragonlance Campaign Setting (Dungeon & Dragons Roleplaying Game: Campaigns)

If you are not really concerned about the rules that might be tucked in there then you can go ahead and grab some of the older books instead. For example, you can snag the 3.5 D&D Dragonlance campaign setting for around $12.99 and have everything that you need to run a game in that setting. $20 would get you the 3.5 Eberron campaign setting as well.

Really what you need to know when looking for a setting is what settings are available. There is a pretty decent wiki of D&D Campaign Settings that you can go through to see what interests you. From there do a few searches for used books and you should be fine. Again, unless you really want those modern edition rules that apply to the setting of your choice.

To elaborate on druzal:

Dragonlance was conceived in 1982 by the Hickmans on their way to an interview with TSR.

In 1984, the Dragons of Autumn Twilight novel was first published by TSR, in addition to the first Dragonlance modules. The events depicted were based initially on the events of a D&D game run by the Hickmans.

When AD&D 2e rolled around, Dragonlance was accorded status as one of the primary published settings (Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance).

After a brief conversion to the new SAGA card-based system (a novel system, but it flopped mightily, later being used to more success for a Marvel RPG), Dragonlance was licensed to Sovereign Press (co-owned by Weis), and a new edition was published for D&D 3e. The license expired in 2007, and not much has been done with it since then.

Has Dragonlance been updated in any way? Is this worth getting?
