Iceland

by: Fran Parnell, Brandon Presser
We just returned from a 10-day trip to Iceland where we drove the Ring Road and put 2200 kilometers on our rental car. It was GREAT to have this up-to-date guide book. While I sometimes wished for more details and cool facts about the sights we were seeing, this book definitely guided us well. It did a good job of providing details about how to get to the sights, being sure to differentiate between those that were and were not accessible by two-wheel drive car (EXTREMELY important in Iceland).

Iceland: Land of the Sagas

by: Jon Krakauer, David Roberts
Very sorry I ordered two of these books, one for myself, one as a gift for a sick friend. Very disappointed in two things: the writing and the photos. There are far better books on Iceland. Was expecting better quality of writing and photos. Perhaps Jon Krakuer should stick to writing (he did the photos). I thought the book would have had details of their trip, not stories of mythology.
