Format:Paperback
5000 words is rather few for a two-way dictionary. The print is large, the borders are huge and there's only a single column(around 35 words a page)
But it's the only one that's affordable outside of Iceland. If you want to study Icelandic, this is your only choice, live with it, and learn this dictionary by heart(that's what I did!), you have enough words in here to become quite fluent.

Format:Paperback
This is a pocket dictionary containing "over 5000 entries". It looks like it is a reprint of a much older dictionary, it contains words like 'smallpox' and 'telegram' but lacks many more up-to-date words. It doesn't contain much grammatical information either. For the serious student of Icelandic, this is a poor dictionary. But for the traveller, it may be good enough.

Format:Paperback
Contents of the book show the printing quality of those old fashioned miniature dictionaries. With good quality printing and type-setting they could have printed at least twice as many words on one page or they could have made a really pocket-sized booklet. Entries are not described phonetically. I am thinking about returning the book.

Disappointing
I purchased the dictionary because I wanted to learn Icelandic. A lot of the words used when speaking Icelandic do not appear in the dictionary! Read more

Basic!
Very basic dictionary but serves the purpose. Pictures and more grammatical points would be good but a valuable book nonetheless.

Good dictionary
Reasonably priced and generally good. I found it useful for my study of icelandic although it lacks modern words such as 'computer' and 'stereo' and gives words such as 'fever' and... Read more

You may have to accept its limitations
This is really just a list of words, printed ratther horribly on cheap paper. It looks like somebody typed the list out and they went straight to print. Read more

Very good dictionary
This dictionary looks rather small, but it actually has a large amount of words in it. Its too bad that they didn't explain some of the grammatical aspects. Read more
