It's an introductory book, so if you're new to runes it's a great place to start. It's got 80 gorgeous illustrations -- looks like folk art to me; I really love it -- and lots of fun things about runes. Runes are the ancient Germanic/Norse system of writing and divination. In short, you can do some fortune-telling! If you order the book, I hope you have tons of fun with your runes!
