Has Wolter established that the newly-discovered aspects of the runes are
contemporary with the making of the runes as previously understood?

That alone makes the book not worth buying for me. Until I see convincing

have to say that all the rest of the, no doubt fascinating, arguments are
only as relevant to real medieval history as The Da Vinci Code.
