Title: a reference handbook, not a theological or devotional book
Product review: Coomler's handbook is a collection of common icon patterns (line drawings, usually presented backwards or mirror-image) with short decriptions (some better than others).This book is not a theology of iconography, nor is it a devotional work. It's a reference text, a pattern book which may be used to identify icons & iconographic themes, read and interpret common iconographic symbols, etc. It can be extremely helpful when understood and used correctly, especially when supplemented with good theologies of iconography and devotional works.
