Customer Review #1:
 A touchdown
If you know only a little about Vikings, and want to know a lot more, this is the book to get. Lavishly illustrated, although, as another reader pointed out, a little big for bedtime reading or the train. I really liked the way the book recalls the entire Norse history -- from the 700s right up to the Minnesota Vikings. By the way, I got to sail for a couple days on the very ship depicted on the cover.

This gorgeous Viking book ranks with the best
What a complete package! Absolutely loaded with huge beautiful pictures of everything from ancient maps to medieval Scandinavian jewelry to charts of what individual experts think the Vikings dubbed "Vinland", this book has it all. Someone familiar with the subject will find it gorgeously re-introduced in this extremely professional layout, and yet anyone new to the subject will find this book to be inviting, informative, and fun to read. While this book doesnt dig quite as deep as either Jones textbook-format "A History of The Vikings" or Haywoods geographically well-documented "The Penguin Historical Atlas of The Vikings", this is still like a huge compilation of every other Viking book Ive seen yet, giving the subject the spotlight that it needs after so many recent discoveries. A very professional complete package for everyone.
