Viking designs is not a brilliant book by any means. But it is a good book to get one into the style and design of Norse art. The drawings are only reasonable. But it will help one understand the areas to explore and enhance on in ones own art. There are no history or explanations to the designs but this book is what it is. A collection of designs based on Norse art and it's cheap. So okay place to start and develop ones own designs from. It's a taster for Norse art and should not be seen as the bible it might have been. Maybe someone out there can take a look at this and create a better one with original designs. I liked it. But it is basic nothing more.
Format:Paperback
A book like this does not really need to exist, if it does not show the great beauty of the artwork... and I think the presentation fails to do this. The info is fine, but the designs would benefit from a more expensive coffee-table book release.

Viking Designs - thats what you get in this book and nothing more.
All illustrations in black and white, maybe on purpose, but lacking info and sources.
All you will get here are designs, pages of drawings and ilustrations (not many btw), with no history or explanations.
I still give it 2 stars for the research and low-price, but overall a very disappointing book.
