Seeking an English language guidebook of La Via Francigena Nel (Del) Sud

Good morning everyone,
I haven't been on this site for a while, since returning home from my Via Francigena trip this last summer.
Now that the fall season is upon us and in an effort to cope with my post trip depression (LOL!), it is time to start my planning for the second half of the trip from Rome to Capo Santa Maria Di Leucca.
As usual I have just Googled the name of the trip, searched Amazon and several other book vending sites, but have failed to come up with a supplier/writer (author) of an English version guidebook.
That being said, I am now turning to the "numerous" brilliant minds (and well traveled) participants on this site in hopes that someone smarter than I can point me in the right direction to find what I am looking for!

Any suggestions? (Thank you in advance)
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

LOL!!!!!!

Me too, but now I am committed after finishing the first half and not getting any younger!!!
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

Certainly the guide mentioned by @roving_rufus is the one to go for at the moment.

I saw a message (on Via Francigena FB) recently from Sandy Brown (author of the three updated volumes of VF guide published by Cicerone) that he is working on a guide to the VF del Sud. But it won't be available until 2025.

I did it in 2018 and it is interesting to see the slow but steady increase in popularity - that is my impression anyway from reports on the forum. it is a fairly logical extension for those who have walked to Rome. It is a different experience from the stage from Alps to Rome - less infrastructure, less people, less waymarking - but I found it immensely enjoyable. And it can be done all year round.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

While walking on the Via Francigena last week in Italy, we discovered that Bags Free now offers day by day baggage transport on the section from Lucca to Rome, and -- like in Spain -- it can be...
Does anyone know if there’s a direct bus from Lucca to San Miniato? Or is the best option to take the train from Lucca to San Miniato Basso-Fucecchio via Pisa and then bus to San Miniato Alto? Thanks!
