hel&scott said:The John Brierley series are good, maps and info wise - Alison Raju –she should be nailed to one of those damn crosses she admires so much! Her guides are like taking the Da Vinci Code as your guide!

Ditto to Brierley's guides. He has one for the Camino Frances, one for Finisterre and Muxia and one for the Portuguese. I took the first two with me, cut the Camino Frances book in thirds, and only carried the relevant section in my very accessible "pouch". the sections were tattered and showed signs of wet pages dried by the sun by the time I was done, but these shredded remnants of the book are part of my cherished "archives" of the trip. Each book is small, compared to many of the guidebooks, had EXCELLENT maps of each daily segment, both in elevation and in distances, available lodging WITH phone #s, # of rooms, # of beds, etc. And a bit of the historical thrown in. I very much regret that he doesn't have a book for the Norte. The Cicerone book does not have very good maps and is extremely bulky. I also got something totally in Spanish (which I can't read) but the maps are much better.
I wasn't looking for books by the time I got to SJPP, but since Brierley turned out to be INVALUABLE on my journey, I wouldn't take a chance on leaving home without it! Buy another copy.I have lost or misplaced my Brieley. Does anyone know if I can buy the latest edition in SJDPP? Thanks in advance
