The Italian publisher, Terre di Mezzo, has just come out with a new, 3rd edition of its excellent guidebook in English on the Via Francigena, covering the section from the Swiss border to Rome.
When we walked this two years ago I found the Terre di Mezzo guide to be the most useful -- logistics-wise -- of all the guidebooks available. Excellent, clear maps and good nitty-gritty information on the trail itself, transit connections, etc. (Supplement it, or any guidebook, with Gronze.com, however, for the most comprehensive lodgings information).
If you're not in the EU, the shipping charge is exorbitant if you order directly from the publisher, so I would suggest ordering it from ibs.it, Italy's largest book-seller. Here's the link: https://www.ibs.it/the-via-francige...1464?queryId=cc9392e6a9e187f7d72de48f24c82607.
Btw, Amazon does not yet have it on its web site. Only the 2nd edition, from 2018, is available from Amazon, at least in the US.
(And no knock on Sandy Brown's and Paul Chinn's also excellent guidebooks. I just found the Terre di Mezzo guide to be the one I consulted most while on the trail).
No e-edition yet.
