Guide to Iceland. The very first printed issue

Old books and newspapers are my fetish. I experienced the first bookasm in my life 17 years old while cleaning dusty bookshelfs in The National Archives of Iceland. 

You will feel something similar to that if you visit Bókin bookstore at Klapparstig, in downtown Reykjavik. 

And I would be more than happy to show you where they are.

Iceland is a the most authentic country in the World. Not much has changed since 1892 except the quantity of the population. You can read evidence about that here below.

About the author

Hello, dear friends of Iceland! My name is Konstantin. I am the Iceland travel enlightener. I spent many years to consult unexperienced tourists, organize tours and guide happy guests of Iceland. And my skills are high. I answer stressless to the stupid questions like Can I bathing in geysir? or Why Iceland is so expensive? Well, I am used to. My poor English could be totally enough to help you to prepare for the trip to Iceland. But my native language is Russian. So, you may write to me your weird questions about Iceland in both languages. Well, I am used to. If you have nothing to say but still curious, just check out my blog. I will try to write about something that hasn't been posted yet on Guide to Iceland. Hmm, it would not be easy. But I'm used to.
