Review: This is one of the better modern books on runes. It's historically accurate and also covers the esoteric uses of runes quite well. I recommend it for beginners, and for those who have already gained a good knowledge of runes.

Summary: Must Have
Review: This is one of the first books about the runes I ever read. I am really pleased to see that it has been re-released, as it was out of print when I first read it. King has a wonderful sense of humour, and provides a strong basis for building upon, in addition to sparking interest in the faith of Asatru and the myths of the North. This is a definate must have for anyone starting on the runic journey.
