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.
It depends where you are starting. The crowds will be dwindling for France and Pamplona starts. Crowds will still be huge for the last 100km. September in general has seen strong growth in the number of pilgrims from those who have avoided July and August, so booking is advisable if you are nervous. In general you cannot book junta and parochial albergues, and only about half the private albergues take reservations.

This site has good information on who takes reservations:

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
We walked mid August to mid September last year. The only place we had trouble with a room was Zubiri (just before Pamplona). We grabbed a taxi to Pamplona, then the next morning took a taxi back to Zubiri and started walking again. The weather during our camino was awesome. Only sprinkled two days toward the end and only used a light fleece jacket 3 mornings at the end. Wonderful time to walk!! Buen Camino!!
