You can find this in the Edda, but it's nice to have just the Havamal available.
informative reflective medium-paced

All in all, a very well thought-out and thoroughly researched rendering of a classic in the Norse canon.  The Translation is sound, and is often, when appropriate, internally compared and contrasted to multiple other translations.  The author is clearly knowledgeable, and approaches the subject with skill and style.

This is my first rendering/translation of the Havamal, so I can't really compare it to others. I think the work was well done, though some of the footnotes were rambling and overly long with insufficient information.
