3.0 out of 5 stars Mediorce, but you can't find another one outside of Iceland., 4 Oct 2001
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good dictionary, 12 Dec 1998
By A Customer
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. All in all, this book is well worth it if you want to study Icelandic.

3.0 out of 5 stars You may have to accept its limitations, 25 Mar 2003
By A. Butterfield (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
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. It's not at all like other small dictionaries in the quality of its production though the cover is nice.
More worryingly, I've already noticed a couple of pretty basic words that are simply missing, so as a list of words, it isn't exactly complete, and probably wasn't researched like a Collins. I also noticed that some words still have the letter 'z' which was of course abolished some time ago in Icelandic, so it's not even up to date.
The saving grace is that it's small, pocketable, and you don't have much choice if you want a reasonably priced English-Icelandic/Icelandic-English dictionary. Yet.

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