Good but short

It was great, and just as described. I was hoping for something a little more detailed but that was my misconception. Great coffee table book!
Celtic symbols and their significance.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
When I first saw this book, my reaction was that such a small book certainly couldn't contain any useful information whatsoever. The book is a mere 5" by 5" by 76 pages (if I counted correctly).However, after opening it up, I found that it is absolutely masterful in what it does. Most pages contain a picture of a symbol, and the accompanying text explains the significance that the Celtic peoples assigned to a specific symbol. Among the symbols covered are the triple head, the ram, the stag, heads and head hunting, and much more. As an introduction to Celtic symbols, this book probably has no peer.
Excellent Photographs of Ancient Artifacts of the Celts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
First I rated the book an 8 since it gives only brief accounts of the artifacts. Pictorally, it is easily rated as a 10. It's a mini-book measuring only about 5" x 5" and every couple of pages begins with a new artifact or item. Well done, again with excellent photographs. This is not an in-depth study of the Celts, but an excellent overview for those with a beginning interest in what their culture was composed of.
