5.0 out of 5 stars Good Art and Well Sourced, January 20, 2004
By Stuart Laird (Rosanna, Vic Australia) - See all my reviews
This book was everything I wanted it to be. The artwork is clear Black and White linework, with notations on each page about where the design came from and what it was used on. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Historical Reproductions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reference Work, March 20, 2006
By Andrew Ellem (Canberra, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book as a source of inspiration for tattoos with a Norse cultural feel. It provided that and more. With hundreds of illustrations sourced from real life examples (rune stones, sword guards, jewellery etc) and from multiple developmental stages in "Norse" artwork, it provides an easy to use reference for those wishing to explore their Norse heritage. Well worthwhile for those Asatruar or re-enactors looking for real life examples to base their craft or tattoo work on.

2.0 out of 5 stars Should have known better, January 23, 2004
By "laurenstella" (Coeur d Alene, ID USA) - See all my reviews
I was very disapointed with this book. But I should have known, Dover Publications tends to produce shoddy material. I was not impressed with the quality of the art work. I expected to see clearer designs. It looked to me like they let a five year old trace some pictures from a history book.
All though it is from a different culture I would recomend Celtic Designs by Chris Down. The artwork is amazingly clear and very reproducable! If you see this book then you will know exactly why Viking Designs is such a let down!
