Iceland (Cultures of the World)

This book serves as a fine introduction to a great country. In introducing my friends to Iceland I kept checking this out of the library. I kept extending the checkout time for four months because the photographs were so good. The photos capture the normal day-to-day life in Iceland. Don't let the recommended age scare you. Most of those who leafed through this book were adults. I found that not one person was disappointed in it in any way. This book would also serve as a good memory guide after your trip to Iceland.
