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.
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
I've stayed at the same Albergue in 2014. It will be quite empty this time of year I suspect. I also stayed at the Hotel Aroi Bierzo Plaza in the Plaza Ayuntamiento 2017 and it was acceptable at relatively inexpensive for a hotel room.
 
I initially planned to spend a night in Ponferrada at this hotel: http://hotellostemplarios.es/en/

I didn't end up staying there, however - I ended up deciding it was too far for me to walk from Rabanal to Ponferrada in one day and I ended up stopping in Molinaseca for the night instead!
