I'll have to start on some reviews soon, but in the meantime, here's everything I have, in no particular order except how I recall them as I type this!
Share time - let's see what you have as well.
BTW, I have two little rune books that came with sets of runes, I won't include these as they're much akin to the LWB - "Little White Book" one gets with tarot cards.
- Practical Guide to Runes - Lisa Peschel
- Complete Illustrated Guide to Runes - Nigel Pennick
- Runecaster's Handbook - Edred Thorrson
- Rudimentary Runelore - Steven Pollington
- The Rune Primer - Sweyn Plowright
- Book of Runes - Francis Melville
- Nordic Runes - Rhys Mountfort
- Taking up the Runes - Diana Paxson
- Introduction to the English Runes - R. I. Page
As of this writing, I'm currently reading Rudimentary Runelore, which is excellent, by the way.
I haven't yet read "Taking Up the Runes" or "Intro to English Runes", the latter of which is a wholly scholarly work.
Everything else has been read cover to cover.
I can't say any of them are bad, though I'm most fond of: The Rune Primer, Rudimentary Runelore, Complete Illustrated Guide to Runes, and Nordic Runes.
I used to have one that was given to me, called "The Celtic Runes"; actually, the runes covered in this book were the Anglo-Saxon Futhork, which was a bit different than your normal Elder Futhark, but anyway, there never was any such thing as "Celtic" runes. Needless to say, I threw that one out in the garbage where it belonged -another new age author trying to cash in on runes and understanding nothing of what they were writing about.
