Excellent reference book for Runic history and variations
This is an excellent reference manual as well as cracking good read for anyone interested in the Runes. It covers all Rune variations, meanings and spreads etc. Furthermore, it goes beyond rune casting and meditation to include runic yoga and numerology... It certainly has a place on my bookshelf.

Pennick Knows His Runes
This is a great book for someone making the leap from beginner to expert, as far as working with the runes. I have been studying the runes for over ten years now - reading dozens of rune books, and this has been one of the most detailed.

Lots of illustrations, and quite a lot of information on the history of runes, such as their evolution into different futharks & their many uses by different cultures.

Another great book by Pennick is Magical Alphabets: The Secrets and Significance of Ancient Scripts - Including Runes, Greek, Hebrew and Alchemical Alphabets, which has some of the same rune information.
