Symbols, Signs and Signets (Dover Pictorial Archive)

This book was exactly what I was looking for. However if a person is also interested in information, such as meaning/history of symbols, signs, and signets along with each illustration, this isn't that kind of reference book. If that's the case I would recommend purchasing a different book on the subject. This one is a book of identification with very brief key page for each section.

I received this book yesterday and it was in perfect condition. I couldn't have found a better copy

Decent symbol book for starting. You can definitely tell it was put together after the modern edit. Definitely as described.

Interesting reading and a book to have somewhere to read over and over and when the opportunity arrives. well it is not a book tit is a systematic list of all you need to know and there is a lot of material to be read. great job done. The only thing is that for Kindle the formating is rather weak or unsuitable the search and looking for symbols is rather hard. Better buy hard copy.

there can be found here old illustrations of Egyptian symbolism, astrological, planetary, magical, alchemic, religious, figures of Gods and angels, sigils of demons, representations of monsters, graphic and archaic ink drawings, and many more.

Love this book. Nice quick reference. Good history lessons. Nice crisp images. Nice source for art.

I wasn't too fond of the format and layout of this book. There are pages and pages of pictures of symbols with little information, and then a blurb giving an overview of the section in question. On the various reference pages, the author has given you the name of the symbol and the culture/country of origin. But he does not provide any additional explanatory information. And I was hoping for greater detail and explanation. So, for what it is, it's not bad. But if you're looking for actual information about these symbols and what they mean and represent, look elsewhere.

Great book! The pictures were detailed and the information attached was good. The author did a great job in gathering information

I love this excellent book of symbols and sigils. A great reference book for studying, history buffs and the curious.

El libro Contiene una amplia gama de simbolos de diferentes aspectos, aunque en lo personal siento que le faltaron mas simbolos de magia

very good. you could probibly find everything in it online pretty easy and better waulity illustrations but its good for ideas i suppose. maybe doesnt go into as much details behind the symbols as i would have liked but still pretty cool

Beautiful imagery.. Great for drawing reference...

Great book, lots of themes and ideas to explore further in my case.
