I've just returned from Iceland -- deemed the most expensive country in the world after Japan -- and I was able to keep costs down and still have fun with the help of this guide. There is a thorough section on budget accommodation, as well as many fine suggestions for dining out (which can quickly add up to the cost of a 3rd-world country's national debt if you're not careful). I also appreciated the elongated history section, which was much more thorough than in the previous edition. In general, costs and descriptions were extremely accurate, and the suggested iterneraries excellent. I cannot recommend this guide over all others enough.

Sufficient information about Iceland.

For seniors, characters in the book small especially those on the maps make it difficult to read.

Colour photos show the beauty of Iceland.

Good, but it was from 2010 and I my trip was in 2012. Some maps aren't reliable enough. But Iceland is still developping. Be sure to have the latest edition on hand.

I bought this book for a trip to Greenland, and there is no information about Greenland in it at all. Evidently all the Greenland & Faroes information has been eliminated from this edition. I am off to look for a 2nd hand copy of the previous edition.
