The book looks like a great resource - when I used your link, I can find it only in an ebook or kindle format. Any idea if it's available in paper book form?Hello everybody,
all information needed before and during the WAY can be found in one book....
Finally the very detailed book about the CAMINO FRANCES got translated into the English language.
If you want to find out what the book is about follow the link below:

Would this replace Brierly?
I just had a look at the book. Very good as long as you are staying in an Albergue, but nothing for the pilgrim who wishes to stay in a private room. Looks like I will have to rely on my old Brierley's guide.
I downloaded a pdf of hotels and pensions here http://caminoteca.com/en/camino-frances/pensions-and-hotels, and that site also has an up to date list of albergues.I just had a look at the book.

So yes, I just outed myself as a happy customer of 15+ years ;-) Buen Camino, SY
The print version of the book will be published on 25. January. :-D

I hope it will be available at Ivar's store here on the forum! Buen camino, Laurie

I've thought that I'd like a physical book on my first camino, both for ease of reading and in case my phone battery dies. I tried Brierley and returned it, as his philosophical musings were weightier than I wanted to carry, and the maps seemed confusing. I bought "A Village to Village Guide to Hiking the Camino" instead. Clear and with clean graphics, but it's fairly heavy--so maybe the new Yellow Book is the way to go, if I don't mind squinting at my phone screen.....
I would thoroughly recommend the Brierley Maps only Guide for the Camino Frances. I used it this year in conjunction with the Albergue list from SJPP, and it worked very well. Less weight and less cost.Brierley also does a Maps-Only version of his Frances guide: http://www.santiagodecompostela.me/...oducts/maps-only-guide-to-the-camino-frances9
