Anemone, many thanks for the information. I didn´t realize that Ivar sells it in the forum shop.
I highly recommend this guide. I know the german edition and Raimund told me, it´s well translated plus some new informations. I know him personally and we meet once or twice a year. He often walks the ways he writes about.

I used the English version. I thought it was excellent.

I love buying guides on the Camino - A sort of complimentary addiction that came as a bundle with the main "walking the Camino addiction" maybe.

I bought this particular one as soon as I found an english version ( as this was pretty common on the hands of so many pilgrims along the way).

Probably not the intention of the OP with this thread but I'll give my two cents anyways:

I have to say I didnt like this guide that much ( value for money and overall content). I'm not sure if the translation wasn't that good or if it just did not 'caught my full attention.

As an (similar kind of guide) alternative, I'd strongly suggest - for instance - Gerald Kelly's ( not as popular) "Walking guide to the camino de santiago History Culture Architecture from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela and Finisterre". Awesome kindle version that goes in your phone so you dont have to carry the guide.

No rambling over, just the essential necessary information, good mentioning of alternative paths and different routes, good points of interest listed, overview on the history and thats it...

BEsides, it's way much cheaper than what I paid for Raimond Joos' guide...
