Greetings from Iceland,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Xenophobe's Guide to the Icelanders (Paperback)
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 Some of the information given in this book is now outdated, such as the restrictions on the importation of dairy products.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.

Fantastic portrayal of a nation,
By "ztk7" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Xenophobe's Guide to the Icelanders (Paperback)
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

Great & Humorous Insight,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Xenophobe's Guide to the Icelanders (Paperback)
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!
