Atuagkat - Atuagkat is Greenland's largest bookshop located in Nuuk. They Have a wide variety of books on Greenland printed in Greenlandic, Danish, English, and a few in German. If you can't find what you're looking for in their online catalog you can e-mail them to see what else they have in stock. They publish and distribute the Kalaallit Nunaat Atlas.

Kangerlussuaq tourism - Kangerlussuaq tourism has a online shop that sells books about Greenland. They are often more expensive then from Atuagkat ,but I think they have a larger selection of books available in German. If you find a book you like from Kangerlussuaq tourism you might want to e-mail Atuagkat to see if they have it at a lower price.

Lonely Planet - Lonely Planet produces a travel guide book about Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands titled, Iceland, Greenland & the Faroe Islands. I find it to be very helpful and is the only travel guide book to Greenland that I have found. You can get it online at Lonely Planet or at Amazon.com You can also purchase it at your local bookstore or at the Rand McNally store.

Books About Learning Danish Teach Yourself Danish - This is the book that I am using to learn Danish. It is the best book out there (unless you count those comprehensive programs with about 20 audio cassettes that cost about $200). This book however, with two tapes, costs only about $23. A sigh of relief!! To conquer this language you should also buy How to learn Any Language. That book will help you to learn the language the best possible way. It has some good ideas and has had excellent reviews on Amazon.com.

How to learn Any Language - This book has some good ideas about how to learn a language. I bought this book and it has some great ideas. If you want to speak Danish you should buy this book.
Note: this book is not a book that teaches Danish, it helps you learn a language with the best possible method.

Berlitz: Danish-English dictionary/Engelsk-Dansk ordbog - This dictionary is for the beginner. It is the only English-Danish dictionary that I have found that has pronounciations for the Danish words. If you know how to to pronounce Danish correctly (the beginner should not attempt to say he/she can pronounce Danish correctly, because pronounciation can be hard) then this is not the dictionary for you. This dictionary however, contains only 12,500 words and is not that comprehensive. It is the one I use ,but once I have a better grasp on the language I will probably buy another one. Again, this is the best Danish-English dictionary I have found for the beginner.
