compound

Það getur vel verið, að þessi gráa og látlausa hversdagssaga drukkni í jólabókaflóðinu í ár.

1936, Árni Hallgrímsson, “Bækur [Books]”, in Árni Hallgrímsson, editor, Iðunn, volume XIX, numbers 3–4, Reykjavík, page 386:

It may well be that this gray and unassuming everyday story will drown in this year’s Christmas book flood.

Í hinu mikla jólabókaflóði er lítið og laglegt hefti með snotri mynd framan á, sem heitir: „Jeg skal segja þjer“

1943 December 21, “Dagbók [Diary/Journal]”, in Morgunblaðið, volume 30, number 289, Reykjavík, page 10:

In the great Christmas book flood there is a small and pretty booklet with a pretty picture on the cover, entitled: “I shall tell you”

Útlit er fyrir að jólabókaflóðið verði af svipaðri stærðargráðu í ár og í fyrra. Gert er ráð fyrir að hátt í fjögur hundruð titlar verði gefnir út.

1989 September 7, “Ástarsögur hverfa af jólabókamarkaði [Love stories disappear from Christmas book market]”, in Tíminn, volume 73, number 176, Reykjavík, page 1:

It looks like the Christmas book flood will be of a similar magnitude as last year. It is expected that close to four hundred titles will be published.

The “Christmas book flood”; the multitude of books (especially newly published books) available in shops in the weeks before Christmas in Iceland, where most new books are published at this time of year.
