[Kevin]

One of two critical books, Wordcraft is an essential dictionary/thesaurus for those studying or attempting to understand the linguistics of Old English.

"Old English Grammar and Reader" by Robert E. Diamond should be treated as a companion book needed for cross referencing terms and words.

[Winnie Thornton]

Fascinating for anyone who has dabbled in Anglo-Saxon, or wants to dabble and doesn't know where to start.
