is there anywhere i can buy an icelandic dictionary or phrase book?

because i am going in june and would like to know how to speak some of the language.

Try the Scandinavian Phrasebook from Lonely Planet (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scandinavian-Phrasebook-Lonely-Planet/dp/1741046033/ ). It has sections on Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Faroese (Finnish too). The Icelandic section is about 45 pages long. It's rather good.

For courses, Colloquial Icelandic (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colloquial-Icelandic-Complete-Course-Beginners/dp/041542707X/ ) looks good too, and I've been tempted to get it. It has CDs, which is vital - get them.

The new Teach Yourself Icelandic by Hildur Jonsdottur (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Icelandic-Teach-Yourself-Languages/dp/0340856653/ ) is no doubt as good as the Colloquial and I'm sure would be just as usable - again get the CD+book pack. The old Teach Yourself Icelandic by Glendenning should be avoided, I think. It's a bit too grammar-driven and had no tapes, but if you were serious about learning the language it would do with the phrasebook.

I think I'd avoid the TalkNow! CD-ROM too - they're (in my experience) a rip-off.

Finally there is an inexpensive dictionary by Hippocrene (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Icelandic-English-English-Icelandic-Dictionary-Hippocrene-Concise/dp/0870528017/ ). Don't expect too much of it, though. Hippocrene dictionaries tend to be very simple.
