well books about the Varangians are very rare
I wanted to write a paper for uni about the Varangians.. but couldn't find any literature.. so I decided to write my paper about the vikings at the Rhine in the Netherlands..
anyway.. a classmate does want to write about the Varangians
some nice links might be:
http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page
and this.. but you have to sign up to be able to reach the information (I hope those links work, I copied them from a mail from my classmate)
