Alas, I did the essay before I knew about proper referencing, now I'm not sure what comes from where!! This reading list is for the essay only and not the recommended reading list for runes!! Perhaps one day I'll come back and redo the essay with the proper referencing system. Again, these texts are referenced (alphabetically!) with as much information as I have on them, Title, Author, publisher, year and ISBN, so if you need a copy, you should be able to track one down.
The good, the bad and the very ugly are listed here, if you get confused, try the book review pages, which list some books in order of complexity, including a list of ones to avoid!!
Again my E - Mail address is at the bottom of the page if you want to contact me on the subject of runes.

If you really want to... you can print the page out and go hunting with it in your local library and/or bookshop! (Just hand the assistant the list and ask them how many they can track down!(If it's a really good bookshop, prepare to have your wallet assaulted for muchos money before you get to leave!)) I would suggest that you check out the book review pages and read about them first, especially before purchase!! Remember: E - Mail is here if you need to yell for help!
