Summary: Should be on every bookcase!
Review: This book gave me a new appreciation for the remarkable history of the world's most literate people. The photography was (for lack of a more original word) breathtaking. This tome is perfect for anyone who wants to dispell friends' misconceptions (my copy has been lent out numerous times), learn more, or just look at splendid photos of Europe's best-kept vacation secret.

Summary: The Illustrated Icelandic Sagas
Review: This is the illustrated Icelandic Saga companion book. Roberts and Jon Krakauer make me want to go to Iceland-tomorrow.

Summary: Gorgeous and informative
Review: Truly a beautiful book! I would have expected to pay quite a bit more for the heavy paper and breathtaking pictures.I found it to be an excellent introduction to Iceland. The first 40% of the book is devoted to a general introduction to the land, early history, and flora and fauna. After that, the authors intertwine travelogue and stories from the Icelandic sagas to give a picture of early Iceland, and how the history, geography and people have all combined to produce today's Iceland. About half text, half stunning pictures, this book is a must-have!
