Limited in scope to La Tene and Halstatt periods but very informative nonetheless.

Using this one as research; but wow, so far it's fascinating.

This one was a great reference. I might have to purchase it for review at a more leisurely pace. Maybe it was just because the topic was already interesting to me, but this text book/history wasn't as cut and try as those types of books seem to be.

I read this for research for my art and my writing. Beautiful photos and detailed information.
