I just returned from 7 days in Iceland and have to say the the Lonely Plant guide is by far the best guide to Iceland that is available. After walking Reykjavik my first day there, getting the "lay of the land", I found myself constantly referring back to the guide for more information. Fundamentally, the guide was right on with regards to descriptions and identifications, and totally accurate.
I would highly recommend this guide for anyone taking their first trip, or subsequent trips to Iceland.
This is a good book - for the most part. I used it extensively and found most things pretty accurate (you know, some of the restaurants went out of business, some new ones sprang up, but thats to be expected). The prices have really shot up since the last publication, particularly on lodging. But as far as itinerary recommendations, I thought these guys were right on.
Format hard to follow, print is very, very small, hard to read. Did not find it helpful in planning my trip to Iceland. This book was not useful to me at all. Next time I purchase a travel book, I will select it from a bookstore. Some books are fine to purchase on-line, but not for something like this. I was hoping it would provide details on how to plan a trip to Iceland, tour guides or self guided.
