It is the original book from the man who discovered the ship.  
Pictures and plates and repinted in swedish and english in facing
columns. Mine seems to have been missing the very last plate which 
is the bones from the excavation. However, the rest has to do with 
the Gokstad ship plan, the furniture, beds, carvings, the Faering 
(small boat), the dress accessories (cast metal bits), shields, 
treen (woodenware), etc.

One of the interesting leather bits is the remains of a small
pouch or purse, originally cloth lined.
