I actually do have that book. My mother, for some
reason I have yet to fathom, gave it to me a few
years ago.

As I remember it most of the book is esoterica
invented by (or "revealed to") modern authors
and added to by the author's own imagination.

He does have a lot of correct information, though,
and he makes some attempt to list the phonetic
value of runes. His book, however, is not intended
for a language student and he mostly deals with
the runic alphabet (futhark) of the pre-Viking period.
