Book Reviews of The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols (Dictionary, Penguin)
Book Review: Best referenced
Summary: 5 Stars
I own at least a dozen of such dictionaries. This one is the best, not only because it coveres the topics in details but also gives detailed references to the ancient sources. Some reviewers complain about lack of pictures, but you can find pictures of symbols even on internet. Books with pictures usually lack in description and rarily mention sources. I highly recommand this one.
