Great Iceland guide, up-to-date May 2, 2008 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
An excellent, chock-full guide written by someone who clearly spent a good deal of time not only exploring Iceland, but also getting to know the country, its history, and its people. The book's insights and recommendations were spot-on and culturally-attuned. I especially liked the suggestions of itineraries for different length visits (pp. 68-69). My friend and I went for a long weekend -- our goal was plenty of geothermal soaking, nature, and good local eats. Mission accomplished!
Best book on Iceland available February 29, 2008 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Andrew Evans clearly knows his stuff. His guide to Iceland is at the same time comprehensive and concise, encyclopedic and to-the-point. He provides both the intrepid backpacker and the urbane traveler with everything they'll need to know about how to get the most out of a visit to this exotic little island, without going broke, getting lost, freezing or getting scalded. His tips and insights are quirkily funny, preternaturally useful and spot-on in accuracy. Leave the "Lonely Planet" behind--this book is all you'll need, regardless of whether you're doing a 2-night stopover on your way to Europe, or a summer-long, whole-island trek.
