I have now ordered to of J. Brierley's newest guide to CF, and BOTH of them came with the inside front cover page partially glued to itself.
What this means is that I can't read the full names of three of the cities on three of the steps.
Now typically, I would just deal with it and not fuss---but doggone it, that is NOT a cheap guidebook!
Has anyone else encountered this printing glitch?
I've even written John; he wrote me back. That was before the SECOND messed up book arrived.
So frustrating.
I ordered and received mine...it was okay. You are right..."not a cheap guidebook"Has anyone else encountered this printing glitch?
Can you tell me if the yellow German guide available now in print, or only as an e-book?I have the new yellow ("German") Outdoor guide in my hands right now. It has a very nice look and feel and a lot of information, and I am quite impressed. I was thinking of ordering a new maps-only Brierley guide if I were doing the CF again, but now I think I'd go with the yellow one.
Yes the English yellow Outdoor guide is available now in print. See the Camino Forum Shop link.Can you tell me if the yellow German guide available now in print, or only as an e-book?
By the way, that yellow guide does not include much information about private accommodation more expensive than about €13.That is brilliant. Thanks! I had looked on Amazon (UK) and no mention of print version. Obviously Ivar (as we would expect) is ahead of the pack!

My advice: Send both copies back and demand reimbursement for the postage/packing. Even if the books left the distributor in good order the packaging was obviously not "weather proof". If the distributors will not come to the party contact Ivar and order a copy of the German Yellow guide book. Good luck
P_S I see you have ordered a copy of the Yellow Book - smart. M
Huh, well mine is the same (2016). I never noticedHere is an image of the problem on the two guides that were sent to me. As you can see, the name "Carrion" is partially unreadable. Three steps are like that.
thank you!Scroll up. Turn your eyes to the left of the banner up top. Camino Forum Shop. Look for the blue circle with yellow arrow.

My new Brierley guide has now arrived and yep, it has the same problem - the cover is too closely glued so the inside edge of the first page with stage maps is obscured. It probably affects the entire print run. Very annoying! I checked my last year's edition and it was almost doing the same thing, with a fold in the same place, but that could be pulled back as it wasn't glued down like the new one.
I would love to know more about the yellow guide and how to get it.Maybe that's a message from on high that you should try the new yellow guide!
Hi via Anderson,
Some of the earlier comments describe the yellow guide as being available in kindle format, but apparently that is no longer the case. It's available just as a print copy.
It's still available as a Kindle book on Amazon UK.

I found the Kindle version on Amazon. But I do not want my face on a tiny smartphone all day. I think I need a hard paper guide.
worry about what to do with the wretched thing (showers? going for a walk?

I understand the problem too. I just wanted people to know what they were getting, so they wouldn't be disappointed if that is what they were looking for. I don't think you need to include the more expensive accommodation since that can easily be obtained from Internet apps as a supplement to your guide..I clearly understand the problem.
The problem is like the packing of your backpack: If you want to take all informations in the book is will bee too heavy and big.
