A deep dive into a pretty interesting subject. It seems like Anglo-Saxon art gets overshadowed by its closely related Celtic and Viking cousins, but this book does a nice job showing some of the subtle differences.

Too many black and white illustrations. The colour ones are just far out, which is how much of the art was originally meant to be seen.
