Start with "The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago - The Complete Cultural Handbook" by David Gitlitz and Linda Davidson. A village to village, hamlet to town stroll along the Camino Francés outlining history, art, architecture, stories and legends. It's a hefty book but I did carry it twice all the way toSantiago. Should you have nothing against technology, there is a Kindle option from Amazon. Another more general book is "The Miracles of Saint James" edited by Coffey, Davidson, and Dunn. Another "classical" collection is of course "The Pilgrims Guide to Santiago" by William Melczer. Good reading and Buen Camino.
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.

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.

Scruffy has covered my field - I have the print version of the Gitlitz and Davidson book, but thought it too heavy to carry. It really came into its own when I downloaded the Kindle version and on the Francés I refer to it constantly, as I walk.
