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? 😄

Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
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!
