I served from 1980-1982 and there was NOTHING to compare with my little books. As you said, I found them in an old bookstore on Ingolfstræti in August 1980. They were old and the covers were ripped. They cost me about $20 and another $25 to have them rebound. The Bindery did an outstanding job and they are still beautiful today. They are not a matched set. The Íslensk-Ensk is from 1922, published by Sigurður Kristjánsson, 2nd edition, and once owned by Jason Sigurðsson. The Ensk-Íslensk was published in 1945 by the same publisher, 3rd edition. The endpaper was missing so I don't know if there was a previous owner. Even as old as they were, they were better than any other dictionary we could find.Kory Ainsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02654894058274320274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28783265.post-11427196090264147222007-08-18T23:13:00.000-06:002007-08-18T23:13:00.000-06:00Still have my Zöega´s too......The whipped cream w...Still have my Zöega´s too......The whipped cream was taken at Víðir and Klara´s apartment shortly after they were married.
