The Rough Guide to Iceland Book

Decent guides to Iceland are thin on the ground, and this looked to be my best bet for a three-day stopover in the country. I drove around using a map and this guidebook, mostly. While there were aspects of the guide that I enjoyed, such as the synopses of Icelandic sagas, it could use some updating and fact checking as there seemed to be more than the usual quota of inaccurate information. I worried needlessly over taking a road described as rough, for example, that was in fact paved. The wrong street was listed as the ideal place to view the city and some admission prices had risen, which didn't particularly surprise me. However, what I found most annoying in working with this e-book was that the maps had very poor resolution when expanded on my iPad. As they were essentially unreadable without expansion, this rendered them useless.
