Brierley book

[Charles Hansen]

Duke -

I must admit that I was commenting solely based on having gone through most
of each book in a somewhat casual manner, although I have started reading
the Lozano book as background material.  That is indeed a scathing review
and disappointing in that it's one from someone who tried to use it in the
field.  From the text in the book the author seemed to know what he is
talking about, at least in terms of being able to give specific detailed
information about the route, turns and albergues, so I don't know where the
fault lies.  I'm very much a map person and those in each book seemed
roughly comparable, with it being obvious that the Brierley book had copied
the same general style of the Lozano maps while not the identical content.
