I've visited Iceland quite a lot and this book is useful to highlight the main areas. I was interested to see if there was anything new or areas I have not explored in detail ( there wasn't, phew!).
Interestingly, it does not give the detail needed to thoroughly explore. However I don't think that is what this book is trying to achieve. As someone already mentioned there is a bias towards summer travel. Winter has so much to offer in my opinion.
That said it gives ample information to loosely plan a trip and then do further research to ensure you maximise your trip. The photography is good. They do mention some excellent, necessary websites.
