A book launch was held yesterday in the Santiago Museum of Pilgrimage to promote a new English-language translation of a 2007 book about Elías Valiña and his work in the 20th century revival of walking pilgrimage to Santiago. The original Spanish-language book was written by Luís Celeiro Álvarez and the English translation is by Laurie Dennett.

I just reviewed the book for the next edition of "La Concha," the American Pilgrims' monthly newsletter.
Just how readers can get a copy is a good question. I've asked the author and translator about distribution/e-book versions, and am told "we're working on it." I guess we wait til after it's launched before we try to make it "land" in our homes!

You chose at checkout postal service or DHL Express… whatever is good for you. I ship everywhere.

That would be great DHL would do. I think you may have my account info as I have ordered many times let me know when this is available from you.

I will get a few copies on Monday, but I think that I will not get that many. So I might not be able to ship all of the orders until later in the week. But get your orders in and I will ship it as soon as I have more books in.
