My First Used Book

I have never before bought a used book in my life, but because I wanted to give my partner exactly this book, which was totally unavailable in Iceland, I decided to give it a try. I had to have it, even though it cost $110... When it arrived after only 10 days, when they had threatened me that it might not be here until January 2013, I could not believe my eyes that it was actually very well used and not that somebody had looked at it and regretted that they had bought it, no this book has really been studied and written in, it even looks like it had accompanied somebody in the bath. Still it is the very best book for studying Icelandic, even though it does not look much on the outside. I am talking about the yellow one, not the colorful one for happy kids...
