(Exploring the World of the Vikings by Richard Hall)
I would warmly recommend it as a good, solid introduction to the viking age. It's well written by an author with a solid scholarly background, yet not dry and with lots of illustrations and info boxes. Its only failing (in my eyes) is that the chapter on religion and mythology is very short - the focus here is on the viking expansion in Europa and on politics, and it covers this from all angles. And best of all, it's a new book and the information is up to date. It would be a great book to own as reference book as well.
Perhaps I should add it's a p-book
