Trade Review
"The book has been edited quite thoroughly, as is appropriate for its level of detail. I noted only a couple of typographical errors. Overall, it is a complete and precise description of Möðruvallabók and a valuable contribution to the literature." ~ Bev Thurber on LINGUIST List (July 2019).
