Sounds really cool, actually. I took two Old Icelandic courses about a million years ago; they included some of the funniest and most interesting sagas I've ever read.

Beautiful photography and intriguing stories of Iceland. A unique history.

Gorgeous photography interwoven with wonderful re-tellings and excerpts of the sags. I loved reading about the history and learning about it's real connection to place. I would love to see an updated version.

It's not very useful as a travel guide, and lacks enough story to be a really good travel memoir. But I think my interest in Iceland stems from the trip these two took; there was an article by the authors in Outside magazine about how wonderful Iceland is that I read at about the same time the book came out. And the photos are beautiful. I think this book is best as a coffee table book.

beautiful photos and interesting information about the sagas of iceland.
