I carried this little book weighing just 220 grams 11.5 x 16.5cm x 1cm thick on my Camino, starting at St Jean Pied de Port. I rate this book as the best one to buy, it is full of excellent information, east to read, the maps are the best I have seen, a full description on each stage, detailing all the local services in every village you pass through, gradients, mileage charting, and of course a full comprehensive list of Pilgrim Hostels along The Way detailing types, prices and amenities. Packed full of small color photos with a wonderfully written explanation on the History. Although stages are provide there is as much information on every little village you pass through allowing one to plan out their own daily distance. My little red was always at hand and made great bed time reading. Just one little bit of advice fix a ribbon onto the spine so you can find your page easily. I would highly recommend this book - Bien Camino
