Cicerone doesn't have an official weight posted yet, Janet, but we can ballpark it. The current Norte/Primitivo guide is 312 pages and 380 grams. This one is set to be 296 pages... so 360 grams?Hi Dave,
Congrats on the new book. Wondering how big it will be? I recall one of your other books on the Northern Camino was kind of heavy in weight?
Janet
MMD will serve you well! They do really good work. I appreciate the sentiment, though.Drat and double drat as I already bought the MMD. I scanned the preview of Dave's book and it has all the accommodation, services and maps a pilgrim needs.
That's something the MMDD doesn't have! Thank you for adding this. We walked the Voie Nive-Bidassoa in 2018.Descriptions (including maps, elevation profiles) of the two main options for linking Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and the Camino del Norte: the GR10 and the Voie Nive Bidassoa
I'll get a copy from Ivar's shop.Hopefully we can get it in Ivar's shop
And for my mid-September start.Congratulations, great news indeed!! Hopefully the ebook will be available for my mid-august start in LePuy this year.
Hello Ramble-on. If you are starting in Le Puy and there is a book store there, you can contact them to see if they will order it in. I have the guide book waiting for me at Shakespeare and Co. Bookstore in Paris, as I will be spending a few days there before taking the train to Le Puy and beginning my walk on Aug. 7th. I just contacted the store, asked if they do this (order a book, of course pd. For upfront by me) and they were delighted to order it in. Leaving Canada on Sunday, book awaits. Bon Chemin! P.s. I also ordered the MMDD - excellent!Congratulations! Does anyone have actual experience ordering it for delivery to the USA? It suggests the delivery agent for Cicerone could take up to (or at least, maybe) 30 business days to get it here. Amazon’s release date is not until October. I’m planning a mid-September start and think this new guide would be really useful.
Looking forward to picking your book I ordered….it awaits me at the Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris (spending a few days there before beginning my walk on Aug. 7th). The store was wonderful in ordering the book for me, as it would not have arrived in Canada prior to my departure. Dave, your spreadsheet was invaluable as I planned and plotted my walk from Le Puy to SJPP….thank you!Hi everyone,
I'm excited to share that next month I have a new guidebook coming out on the Via Podiensis through Cicerone. You can see the overview page here and a pretty significant preview on Google Books. Alison Raju was responsible for the guide for this route for years, and she first drew me to it a long time ago, so I'm honored to follow her work.
Here's a snapshot of what's in the book:
Basically, I wanted a single-volume book that could get people through from Le Puy to SJPDP or Hendaye/Irún. There were many rounds of revision, to get the word count down to where it needed to be, but I think we made it!
- Stage-by-stage overviews of the GR65, the GR651 (Célé Valley), and the Rocamadour variant (GR6/GR46). This includes detailed maps, elevation profiles, short route descriptions, and quick profiles of village highlights
- Descriptions (including maps, elevation profiles) of the two main options for linking Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and the Camino del Norte: the GR10 and the Voie Nive Bidassoa
- Loads of other variants along the way, including Bonneval and Lalbenque
- A mix of pilgrim accommodations along the way, complemented by this spreadsheet logging most accommodations and services along the route
The physical book is scheduled for release on June 15. There will be an ebook, but that typically takes a little longer. Note that lots of online sites, like Amazon US, will have a later availability date (I'm seeing somewhere in October), because Cicerone only distributes to those places a few times annually. To get it as early as possible, order direct from Cicerone. Hopefully we can get it in Ivar's shop, as well as the cathedral bookstore in Le Puy.

How exciting to visit Shakespeare and Co, and pick up your guidebook there! What a great idea. Wishing you a bon chemin, Michelle.Looking forward to picking your book I ordered….it awaits me at the Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris (spending a few days there before beginning my walk on Aug. 7th).
