I love the Element Encyclopedia series. There isn't a lot to review since this is a reference book, but let me tell you; I always smile when I open this book. Granted, you don't get a ginormous amount of information per symbol, but that's not really what this book is for. It's a starting place.

So far this book seems really well written and informative: In a field
where I have done a fair amount of reading, I'm learning--always a good thing. Of definite value to Pagans, or anyone with a curiosity concerning the origins and meanings behind various signs and symbols. International in scope.
