For the Faroes get LP's Scandinavian Europe book instead
The LP Iceland, Greenland and Faroes book reviewed here is now outdated.

I don't think this book ever left my hand from the moment I stepped off the plane at Keflavik Airport until I loaded my bags into the Flybus for the return trip.

Top-notch guide for adventurous travelers
Since 1999, I have been to Iceland twice and Greenland twice, for a total of seven weeks--extremely unusual for an American.

It's a lonely planet indeed!
I used this book heavily during two trips around Iceland in 2000 and 2002, albeit the third edition.
