You don't know what you've missed untill you got this ...

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2004

You don't know what you've missed out on, till you get your hands on this encyclopedic collection of articles about Medieval Scandinavia. I've owned my copy for soon 10 years and I've had use of it several times.
It contains valuable information for those of us with a special interest in the old Norse culture.
