Primary sources for serious runologists, February 27, 2010
This review is from: Runes In Sweden (Hardcover)
I haven't actually bought this book, but I found this review: "In all about 3,500 runic inscriptions are known from Swedish territory. Because of this unique wealth of material, they make an important contribution to our knowledge of early culture and society in Sweden. Rune stones are a natural element of the Swedish landscape. They are the oldest linguistic monuments and they provide much contemporary information of inestimable value. The inscriptions often permit us to draw significant conclusions relating to general cultural history. This book, written by Sweden's leading runologist Professor Sven B F Jansson, presents a survey of the Swedish runic material, both in words and pictures." [...]).
Evidently, this is the kind of primary sources that serious researchers are looking for when it comes to the topic of runes.
