Customer Reviews

A wonderful overview.

Those looking for a quick and easy introduction to the symbolism of the Celtic cross would do no better than to buy this book. It is a very easy read, precise and to the point. Many, many wonderful illustrations bring even more enjoyment out of this book, and allow the reader to fully understand the text. But, just an aside, 'Croes Celtaidd' is Welsh, not Gaelic, as it says in the Editorial review!

Good book - but possible warning

Although I haven't actually read the book, since I just received it a couple days ago, I have scanned through it a couple of times, and it appears to be very informative. One word of caution to any and all who are interested in this item - contact the seller BEFORE you order from them to make sure that everything mentioned in the review is there. Case in point...I ordered the item from oldorchardbooks, and all that was in the box upon being received was the book. The cross, and "black silken cord" that was mentioned in the review was no wheres to be found. I contacted them to find out what was going on, and mentioned the word "misrepresented" in the e-mail. They told me that I should have contacted them before placeing the order, for then I would have known not everything was there. I will admit that they did offer me a refund, but considering I was charged more in S & H costs than the item itself, I figure there is no point in returning it, since they probably wouldn't refund the S & H costs. Thankfully, the book is interesting enough, which is why I gave it 4 stars.
