Has anyone used this credential/notebook?

That can be purchased at the Cathedral gift shop?
It's an official credential, and a small notebook. Each page has a sketch abd information about a town on the Frances. There's plenty of room for lots of stamps and your own notes.

Personally I think it is far to heavy and the translations into other languages than Spanish were really bad - at least that was the case in the version I saw some time ago.

Buen Camino, SY

OH I bought this online a few months ago for my upcoming Camino in Sept. Isn't it lovely??!

For me, it is too heavy, but I know that many pilgrims like to bring a small notebook with them, so I thought that this might be nice way to carry a credential and notebook. I just found that Ivar carries it in the store! https://www.santiagodecompostela.me...cathedral-in-santiago#shopify-product-reviews

It's a sweet concept. If it weren't too heavy and if one were to be disciplined enough to write in it regularly, I would think that it would be a wonderful thing to have long after the Camino was over.

used it from SJPdP to Logrono, April 2018, Returned to the Camino , Logrono tp Santiago, used the standard passport, much lighter and more user friendly.
Did get quite a few compliments on it though

138g according to the store listing - I must say its tempting -though with 48 places for "official" stamps it's a little light. Does someone who's seen it in real life think it would work if you saved the "official" 48 stamp places for your overnight stays - and then used other pages for other stamps like bars and churchs along the way?

I think that the book has at least 38 pages, so it has enough room for "extra" stamps, and a few handwritten notes on each page.

WOW I really like this book. I did not see it at the shop. Shucks. Even if it is too heavy to carry around, I would have still bought it as a nice souvenir. Nothing preventing ya from stamping it when you get to your destination hostel and sending it along with the luggage. Awesome.
