Book Reviews of Dictionary of Symbolism: Cultural Icons and the Meanings Behind Them
Book Review: Not deep enough
Summary: 2 Stars
Covers a lot of territory, but nothing meaningful. If you are new to being alive in the west and need to get up to speed on some basic notions of what various symbols mean, this is a useful reference. But if you are looking to get a deep read, this doesn't cut it.
