Hi I think if you have a Barnes and Noble or Borders Books near you they can have it for you in 2 or 3 days. I got the 2009 John Brierley guide which seems to be the most popular one. I ordered it from my bookstore and had it in 3 days.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
It would be easy for you to have it waiting for you at St. Jean in France, but it would be just as easy to have it before you leave. Take your pick and enjoy your Way. Peace
 
I returned to St. Jean Pied de Port a couple days ago after completing the Camino. In a bookstore I was surprised to see a few copies of John Brierly´s 2009 guide. I hope you get a guide before leaving, but if you land in St. Jean without one, check out the local bookstores.

In Madrid you can look for it in "La Casa del Libro", in la Gran Vía.

Or, may be in the Asociación de Madrid, Calle Carretas, 14, very close La Puerta del Sol, if you have to go there to take a credential for your Camino

Buen Camino,

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.
