Where to order a small pocket book on Camino Norte?

Camino Norte 2015 Nov-Dec
1/3 of Camino Frances from Roncesvalles to Castrojewitz
I walked Camino Norte in nov-Dec this year2015. In San Sebastion (or some other tourist info) in the Bask country I was given for free a very handy pocket book in English on Camino Norte (included also Camino Primitivo). It was a joint effort by Baskia, Cantabria, Asturia and Galicia. Unfortunately I do not remember who published it, published in Spain.
It contained day descriptions in maps, profiles and estimated daily walking time for 34 days (In my case very unrealistic..) and also some date on towns/cities on the trail. I liked the formats and the contents.
The format fitted into my pocket, it was smaller and thinner than Cicerone. Unfortunately I left it somewhere on roadside after tripping over and did not come across the same book again.

I would like to order it and I am willing to pay for expenses.
Anybody recognises it, or can advice me how to get it please inform me.

Hi Gunilla
Welcome to the Forum!
Are you thinking of "The Northern ways to Santiago"
It contains descriptions of the Northern Way, the Primitive Way, the Inland Way, the Baztanes Way and the Lebaniego Way.
I planning to do the Camino Norte in July 2016 and a friend of mine gave me the small book. He found it in the Tourist office in San Sebastien where he got it for free.

The book is published by:
Eusko Jaurlaritzaren Argitalpen Zerbitzu Nagusia
Servicio Central de Publicaciones del Gorbierno Vasco
C/Donostia-San Sebaseian, 1 - 01010 Vitoria-Gasteiz

Good luck finding the book.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

Thankyou it must be that one! I will order it.
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
I enquired about this guide in the tourist office in San Sebastian last June and was told it is no longer in print. A shame because it is a very good free guide, the pdf version will have to do.
