Gordon's work, revised and updated by A.R. Taylor in the second edition, takes a rather old-fashioned approach to language-learning, in that it presents students with a selection of pieces in the original language, and expects them to wade right in. Notes, glossary and grammatical outline are (of course) supplied at the rear of the text, but the idea is definitely to learn as one goes.
I do not think my studies would have prospered, if I had used this method alone, but thankfully I also had access to Valfells' and Cathey's excellent Old Icelandic An Introductory Course, which - when used in conjunction with Gordon - offered a coherent and fairly painless introduction to a complicated language.
