I don’t have a basis of comparison having only used Brierley’s, but I believe I would opt for the maps only version another time. Just a little more streamlined for my purposes.Which book should I buy for my Porto to Santiago Camino? I see on this site I can buy John Brierleys Guide, or The Wise Pilgrim Guide or The Village to Village Guide. I'll be reading it before going and using it enroute as I'm not a phone/internet person.

Hi. I did Porto to Santiago in 2019 and used Brierley. However, make sure you have the latest edition as I found several differences when comparing notes with fellow pilgrims using older editions. I have also used Brierley for Camino Frances, Camino Ingles and Finisterre. All the information i have needed has been there. Buen CaminoWhich book should I buy for my Porto to Santiago Camino?

Because I actually observed one fall down on the Camino trail on the way to Burgos. Literally staring at the device while walking, totally absorbed it seemed and fell down. Probably fifty metres in front of me. Fortunately he was young, rolled and got back up. Kind of shook it off after looking around and I swear walked off still looking at the device. Go figure.Why cast aspersions on other pilgrims?
a small book is perfect and I just plain love books.
Are you suggesting that it is safer to have your nose in a paper guidebook, than in a digital one? Since the OP's question was about which guidebook was best, do you think some guides are more engrossing than others and thus more dangerous in either digital or paper format? Gosh, it is so difficult when we are forced with trading off the fascination of a good guidebook against safety.Because I actually observed one fall down on the Camino trail on the way to Burgos.
