If you are interested in Vikings, you need this book!  This is the catalog of the excellent exhibit that was at the Smithsonian last summer and is now touring a few other cities.  There are lots of color photographs of artifacts, some of them rarely reproduced, others dug up only recently and never before published.  The text is also very good, with a concentration on Viking economics, exploration, and settlements outside Scandinavia.
