Guide book went on camino before me

Time of past OR future Camino
2 Camino Frances, next: April 2020 Primitivo
I ordered a guide book from Ivar. The book traveled to Germany, but turned from there to Italy, and has now been "delivered". I live in Finland. Ok, is this the universe's way to say I should plan a camino in Italy or maybe I can't trust in a book that can't even find it's way to the right country? 😄
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Some years ago, doing first aid in hot weather I met a Dutch man (a couple actually). He was bald, no hat, bright red scalp, so I gave him mine. He said that he would post it back to me after his Camino (he asked for my address).
I heard nothing, no hat. A year later I received a package and inside was my hat and a series of photographs of the hat progressing along the Camino, the last photo with my hat 'sitting' in the cathedral .. plus a 20 Euro note for my first aid mission and a nice letter ..
patience is indeed a virtue!
