ICELANDIC PRACTICAL DICTIONARY

Icelandic dictionary cover
“Helga Hilmisdóttir's excellent new Icelandic-English/English-Icelandic Practical Dictionary makes a truly welcome appearance for North American learners who have lacked access to any acceptable dictionaries of Icelandic, particularly English-Icelandic. This dictionary… will mark a major advance in English-speaking students' ability to learn Icelandic, and will be a useful reference for anyone who has an interest in the Land of Fire and Ice.

Award catalog page 184

It's thrilling to have that red "Best in the World" badge! The Gourmand World Cookbook Awards attract submissions from all over the world, and for the 21st annual awards they came from 209 countries. After being named a Finalist in "Best African Cookbook" (published outside Africa), we had to wait several month for the final results. We are so proud to have this singular collection of Ghanaian recipes and foodways recognized.

Congratulations to authors Fran and Barbara!
