Very clear and simple overview of how to use runes, from their meanings, to their history, and even how to create them. Does a nice balance of recognizing the history and spiritualism without being too overwhelming on the woo. Is a nicely readable document unlike most other books on the subject!

An excellent introduction to runes, with a brief history & an explanation of each.

Basic information, very good for beginners (this is coming from a beginner). Easy to learn and follow.

Fairly complete in definition and explanation. I still have questions, but will be referring to this book for more than runic answers.
