If this is the version to which you are referring, it looks very handsome!

Yes, it really looks great, but did you see what it costs? 14.000 Krónur, that's € 85 or $ 110 - plus shipping fee from Iceland. That's not worth it for me.

Although it may not be comprehensive enough for advanced learners, it's worth pointing out (if someone else hasn't
already) that the Hólmarsson dictionary is available online for free:

http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/IcelOnline/IcelOnli ne.TEId-idx?id=IcelOnline.IEOrd

The beauty of it is that by searching the full entries instead of just headwords, you can use it as an English-Icelandic
dictionary too.

I find all the colloquial phrases it includes really useful.

Just remove the space in ..IcelOnli ne.TEId... This is a wellknown problem with links here.
