Following - curious to see what other titles in Nelson's Icelandic Texts series. I only knew of Christopher's being a printed a book.
Also isn't there a website where they're up for free, legally? Viking Society or something...?

Thanks for that! I saw that link before, but had forgotten how to get it.
Also, from what I can see so far, it looks like it's just the three titles have been published in that style: hardback with blue dustjacket, "Nelson's Icelandic Text" at the top and that symbol on all three (end of a viking ship...?)

Ah yes of course - I only FOUND 3 of them that's probably why I said 3.
Yeah, there aren't any Saga of the Volsungs currently available through the usual sources. Quite possibly as that is (arguably) the most interesting, so a bit more demand.
I've seen all of the Nelson titles lying around in secondhand Glasgow bookshops over the years (besides the CT volume), so have zero intention of picking these up online at present; prices are a bit over the top at first glance. The Chaucer volumes seem to be going the same way. You used to see these listed for a few pounds pretty regularly; maybe you still do but but they're increasingly listed for £10-20 because the seller notices "Tolkien".

Agreed. I can't see any reason to pay more than a few pounds. The audience for any of them has to be pretty small.
I wish I lived in a first world country that had decent second hand book shops :( Failing that, Scotland.
