5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the bunch., July 25, 2007
By 
This review is from: Lonely Planet Iceland (Paperback)
Prior to my latest trip to Iceland I purchased a vast array of travel guides: The Rough Guide to Iceland; Insight Guides Iceland; Globetrotter Travel Guide; and Travellers Iceland (Thomas Cook). All of these titles are good and each provided some unique insights. However, when it was time to head to Iceland, and luggage space was at a premium, the only book I took with me was Lonely Planet Iceland. Quite frankly, I can't think of any other praise that would convey so much. Minimal b.s. and concise descriptions, this is as good as it gets. Essential. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars For Iceland-YES, For Greenland or Faeroes-NO!, June 7, 2007
This review is from: Lonely Planet Iceland (Paperback)
We've been waiting for 1.5 months for this book to arrive. Despite delayed publication it arrived yesterday - 5 days before we leave for a month-long trip to Iceland and Greenland. To keep others from being equally misled by Amazon's sub-title "Lonely Planet Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands") I'm writing to notify all that this book has a combined total of TWO (count 'em!) pages on Greenland and the Faeroe Islands. This is solely an ICELAND guide book (and probably a very good one). Amazon needs to remove reference to Greenland and the Faeroes in the title as this is very misleading. Lonely Planet has a 2004 edition on "Greenland and the Arctic" which we will be forced to rely on, despite its dated information, for the Greenland segment of our trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily the best guide for Iceland, July 29, 2007
By 
This review is from: Lonely Planet Iceland (Paperback)
We just returned from a family vacation to Iceland (July 2007) and this was easily the best guide book out there. Very current (no other guide was nearly as up to date), fairly comprehensive and quite spot-on in its observations, it was truly indispensable at times.
