Well started some research for my Camino Sanabres next March/April.
The websites from Gronze, Eroski and Mundicamino already gave me a wealth of information but I always like to have a paper version/ Kindle too of a guide.
Bought the yellow guide by the German author Raimund Joos ( when I walked the Portugues a fellow pilgrim had Joos' guide for that route and I was impressed by the maps etc)
https://www.amazon.de/dp/386686440X/
I must say I'm somewhat dissapointed by this book. Less detailed than the Portugues version and little to no maps. But maybe it is because I'm not fluent enough in German...could be.
I then bought the latest Kindle version by Gerald Kelly and I must say that this one appeals much more to me.
Better maps to begin with and also a detailed description of the terrain and the possible lodgings en route.
For someone like me who is most comfortable walking a maximum of 25 k per etapa the Kelly book is a reassurance because of the good list of stops. I feel this will be my first Camino that needs more planning in terms of sleeping places. Yes I walked part of the Ebro with not much choice to sleep either but at least terrain was flat.

Any other recommendation for a good guide is always welcome!
Of course the de la Plata thread by @ SYates is also a good source of info.
