I like Wise Pilgrims style - linear narrative rather than set (implied) stages.
Hello,
As a newbie to the Camino, I have a question: Do I need to have both Primitivo books?
1. The Camino Primitivo - A Wise Pilgrim Guide to the Camino Primitivo from Villaviciosa, through Oviedo, to Santiago de Compostela
2. The Cicerone Guide: The Northern Caminos
I already have the Cicerone guide (the luggage service provided it), but the 2018 version of the alternate one just came out.
Any advice would be welcome.

Yes, that's also my current concern, which guidebook to use? I think I'll buy The Camino Primitivo - A Wise Pilgrim Guide..... Maybe the way is well marked and you can't be lost, but anyhow I'll feel safer with guidebook.
The books have the advantage of having more maps. They are analog of course but for me that is a better for forward planning as I am better able to visualize the terrain and distances. Some people prefer digital maps and I suppose for them the apps are better.wisepilgrim - is the material in the guidebooks the same as in the app? or additional info as well? i've used the apps for 3 caminos, and wondering if the guidebook adds more information. thanks.
It's not just about way-finding though, is it? You also rely on a good guidebook for information on albergues, distances between towns, historical information about villages/sights, prices etc. Of course, most of or perhaps all of this information can be found online without buying a book/app, but it might not be presented, formatted, edited etc in the same way you'd expect from a book.
Hi, I used the CSJ 2018 and Gronze. Com which were more than adequate. Other pilgrims and locals will fill any gaps.Hello,
