5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic portrayal of a nation, June 28, 2000
By "ztk7" (Reykjavik Iceland) - See all my reviews
This book is fantastic. I'm Icelandic myself and everything this book states is completely correct and a greatly humorous view of the nation. Apart from a few misspelling Icelandic names and concepts this book is wonderful

4.0 out of 5 stars Greetings from Iceland, April 10, 2003
By A Customer
This humorous "guide" gives insight to the character and behavior of the Icelanders. Everything from knitting to politics is covered. Some of the information given in this book is now outdated, such as the restrictions on the importation of dairy products. These tend to be minor details and do not take away from the quality of the book. No pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great & Humorous Insight, November 1, 2002
By A Customer
What a delightful surprise I had in store when I purchase this book for a friend that will be traveling to Iceland for the first time. I couldn't put it down once I opened it. Filled with humor and hopefully some truth it is delightful from start to finish. Now I wish I were the one traveling to Iceland!

1.0 out of 5 stars pricey
For the outrageous price one gets a very succint introduction into the habits of the Icelanders, not entirely updated. Read more
