He could buy the Camino 'Bible' and read it as he walks.
The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago by David Gitlitz and Linda Davidson is a cultural handbook that covers the history and folk lore, saints' lives, art and architecture, geology, flora and fauna of the Camino Frances and also the Aragones route from Somport. It is a heavy book but would be better than any guide.
Gitlitz-Davidson was published in 2000, so does not make a good route guide (see Preface page XI below), but the history does not change, and the descriptions of things and events is excellent. Unless you need to read something as you are standing before it, read the book beforehand, and save the weight of carrying it.

Linda Davidson says clearly in the book, 'This is not a route guide." They do not provide directions or information on lodging or restaurants. She goes on to recommend route guides for walkers and cyclists.
"What you are holding is your Handbook to the cultural contexts of the pilgrimage. It is meant to accompany your route guide, to be the second item you put into your rucksack. From the Pyrenean border between France and Spain we will walk with you, providing useful and interesting information about the history, people, natural environments and artistic monuments that you are passing."
