5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect For Travel
If you are just beginning to learn the runes, this book is the perfect size to take with you anywhere to boost your memory. It is very simple, but it covers the basics. If you have been working with runes for a long time, you will not find this book interesting at all, but it is a cute addition for those who collect books on runes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Bother Buying This Book
This book is so limited it's not even worth the amount Amazon.Com asks for...save your money for a better book like "A Practical Guide To The Runes" by Lisa Peschel.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not well researched., August 25, 2007
By 
S. Plowright (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Mystery of Runes (Little Books) (Paperback)
The first sentence in the book shows how poorly researched this is.

"Runes are an ancient alphabet that was used by pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, and Norse peoples over three thousand years ago..."

(Runes did not exist until about 2000 years ago & Anglo-Saxons were not around until half a milennium after that)

Further in, it does not get any better. You could waste your money on inaccurate New-Age twaddle, or find a factual bargain like this:
