Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-15 00:00:00 Cary Anderson I read a recent edition of this book. I found it well written, reasonably up-to-date for such a fast moving subject and very interesting throughout. For a beginners' guide it went into a surprising amount of detail. I'm not a beginner but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone who is.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-17 00:00:00 Timothy Evans Good overview of the language and its connection with other germanic languages'especially Gothic, which is used for a lot of comparative examples. Very dense, and I plan on returning to parts to really study it. The selection of texts has good commentary, especially the parts about runes, which I had not seen before. But it is worth noting that this is not a textbook to learn the language'it does not fully cover morphology and syntax; however, it does provide the main characteristics of these two topics. It also has inspired me to pick up a full grammar to study, and return to the other books I have that have a fuller treatment of the grammar and longer selections of texts.
