An Excellent Reference for the Art & Architecture of Camino
This book is a great reference for the Pilgrimage Route of the Camino de Santiago. If you are planning to do the Camino, grab this book and read it first to give you a good foundation of History, folklore, Art and architecture of the Camino before you set out. The authors share a wealth of knowledge about the Camino that makes the experience much more rewarding than making the Camino without the background and knowledge that they provide. I'd only hesitate to throw it in my backpack because of the weight, but have used it to make extensive notes in my walking guide to highlight the must see parts of the camino.

Camino History Book?
I wouldn't use it as a walking guide but I'd certainly find space in my rucksack for this brilliant book. A fantastic broadband view of everything Camino. Fascinating anecdotes and inside information on a vast array of fascinating subjects. Maybe a bit 'heady' but I enjoyed it.
