Reviews

[Jdub · Rating 1 out of 5]

Poorly written. Very outdated. Simplistic. Somewhat interesting as a historical curio from 1980 when it was first written. Otherwise worthless.

[Eve · Rating 4 out of 5]

A rather small book but informative. Well worth having in your collection if you are into learning about the Germanic/Nordic Runes.
