Can we talk about paying for a local guidebook in Reykjavik

Everyone says to skip them and just ask around, but the $25 Lonely Planet I bought at the airport saved me from a bad meal and a closed museum. Has anyone else found a guidebook actually worth the cash?

Glad it worked out for you, my guidebook just told me to wear sensible shoes lol.

Honestly, that's the most generic travel advice ever. Might as well tell you to remember to breathe while you're out there. Sounds like your guidebook phoned it in big time.

Oh man, my buddy spent a whole afternoon walking to a "must-see" cafe that had been closed for two years. His phone data was dead and he had no backup plan.
