hi there,
nothing to find at your local uni library? well, here are a few books i' ve
been working with:

Introduction to Old Norse / Eric V. Gordon, A. R. Taylor
A New Introduction to Old Norse / Michael Barnes
Old Icelandic: An Introductory Course / Sigrid Valfells, James F. Cathey

apart from that there are quite a few (older) grammar books published in
modern scandinavian languages - we have some at my university , i can look
up their titles and write them to you, if you like.
